THE BOY, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Go, little boy Last Line: True joy doth lie. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Boys | ||||||||
Go, little boy, Fill thee with joy; For Time gives thee Unlicensed hours, To run in fields, And roll in flowers. A little boy Can life enjoy; If but to see The horses pass, When shut indoors Behind the glass. Go, little boy, Fill thee with joy; Fear not, like man, The kick of wrath, That you do lie In some one's path. Time is to thee Eternity, As to a bird Or butterfly; And in that faith True joy doth lie. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PORTRAIT OF A BOY by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET THOSE BOYS THAT RAN TOGETHER by LUCILLE CLIFTON THE WHITE BOY by LUCILLE CLIFTON COZY APOLOGIA; FOR FRED by RITA DOVE REVELATION 20:11-15 by NORMAN DUBIE BOY'S SLEEP by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
