THE BIRDCATCHER, by RALPH HODGSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When flighting time is on, I go Last Line: They fly into my head. Subject(s): Birds | ||||||||
When flighting time is on, I go With clap-net and decoy, A-fowling after goldfinches And other birds of joy; I lurk among the thickets of The Heart where they are bred, And catch the twittering beauties as They fly into my Head. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GLIMPSES OF THE BIRDS by JOHN HOLLANDER GLIMPSES OF THE BIRDS by JOHN HOLLANDER AUDUBON EXAMINES A BITTERN by ANDREW HUDGINS DISPATCHES FROM DEVEREUX SLOUGH by MARK JARMAN A COUNTRY LIFE by RANDALL JARRELL CANADIAN WARBLER by GALWAY KINNELL YELLOW BIRD by KENNETH SLADE ALLING |
