THIS BANTAM STAR, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Is this the blackbird's richest song Last Line: Can match this little bantam star!' Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Music & Musicians; Singing & Singers; Stars; Songs | |||
Is this the Blackbird's richest song – Is this his greatest hour? And still the Bee stands on his head To suck his sweetest flower; While I, a poet with my pen, Make music only known to men. How merrily this bantam world Can clap his wings and crow! Is there a merrier world than this? 'No,' says the Blackbird – 'No! No other worlds, though bigger far, Can match this little bantam star!' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
