CAPRICE, by LINDA LAETSCH First Line: Light shod, shaking a hoof at the dawn Last Line: But you are always gone too soon. Subject(s): Fairies; Elves | |||
Light shod, shaking a hoof at the dawn, A merry twinkle of eye, and you flee -- Nimbly treading the tips of waves, The diamonds sprinkled all over the sea; Kissing the stars, drinking pearls of dew, Making wry, piquant faces at the moon; I have chased through the world for a glimpse of you, But you are always gone too soon. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FAERY FOREST by SARA TEASDALE THE LAND OF HEART'S DESIRE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE FAIRIES by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM THE FAIRY CHILD by JOHN ANSTER THE FORSAKEN MERMAN by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE LITTLE ELF-MAN by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS TAM O' SHANTER by ROBERT BURNS A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 19.
