THE WOODS AND BANKS, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: The woods and banks of england now Last Line: Where are you now, cuckoo? Cuckoo! Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Birds; Cuckoos; Nature | ||||||||
The woods and banks of England now, Late coppered with dead leaves and old, Have made the early violets grow, And bulge with knots of primrose gold. Hear how the blackbird flutes away, Whose music scorns to sleep at night: Hear how the cuckoo shouts all day For echoes -- to the world's delight: Hallo, you imp of wonder, you -- Where are you now, cuckoo?
