X IS FOR EXPECTING, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Come, come, my love, the morning waits Last Line: Of twelve may mornings came in one. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Love; Waiting | |||
Come, come, my Love, the morning waits, What magic now shall greet our sight! What butterflies Before our eyes Shall vanish in the open light! Come, while the Sun has power to strike Our household fires all dead and cold! How softly now The wind can blow -- When carrying off a field of gold! Come, when behind some leafy hedge We'll see a snow-white, new-born lamb No man has set His eyes on yet -- Where it lies sleeping near its dam. Come, come, my Love, the morning waits, The Sun is high, the dew has gone! The air's as bright As though the light Of twelve May mornings came in one. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALMOST AN ELEGY by JOSEPH BRODSKY THE AWAKENING by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON WAITING FOR SWEET BETTY by CLARENCE MAJOR GENTLEMEN, I ADDRESS YOU PUBLICLY by KENNETH REXROTH LA VIE EN ROSE by KENNETH REXROTH A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
