THE BUCKLE, by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I had a silver buckle Last Line: May tell of it at all. Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter Subject(s): Shoes; Boots; Sneakers; Shoemakers | |||
I had a silver buckle, I sewed it on my shoe, And 'neath a sprig of mistletoe I danced the evening through! I had a bunch of cowslips, I hid 'em in a grot, In case the elves should come by night And me remember not. I had a yellow riband, I tied it in my hair, That, walking in the garden, The birds might see it there. I had a secret laughter, I laughed it near the wall: Only the ivy and the wind May tell of it at all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BROKEN SANDAL by DENISE LEVERTOV FOR AL-TAYIB SALIH by KHALED MATTAWA SNEAKERS by E.
