THE SERF'S SECRET, by WILLIAM VAUGHN MOODY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I know a secret, such a one Last Line: To meet the upland sun. Subject(s): Flowers | ||||||||
I KNOW a secret, such a one The hawthorn blossoms spider-spun, The dew-damp daisies in the grass Laugh up to greet me as I pass To meet the upland sun. It is that I would fainer be The little page, on bended knee, Who stoops to gather up her train Beneath the porch-lamp's ruby rain Than hold a realm in fee. It is that in her scornful eye, Too hid for courtly sneer to spy, I saw, one day, a look which said That I, and only I, might shed Love-light across her sky. I know a secret, such a one The hawthorn blossoms spider-spun, The dew-damp daisies in the grass Laugh up to greet me as I pass To meet the upland sun. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THEY SAW THE PROBLEM by MARK JARMAN SHAKE THE SUPERFLUX! by DAVID LEHMAN THE M??TIER OF BLOSSOMING by DENISE LEVERTOV TANKA DIARY (6) by HARRYETTE MULLEN VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN FORCED BLOOM by STEPHEN ELLIOTT DUNN AN ODE IN TIME OF HESITATION by WILLIAM VAUGHN MOODY GLOUCESTER MOORS by WILLIAM VAUGHN MOODY ON A SOLDIER FALLEN IN THE PHILIPPINES by WILLIAM VAUGHN MOODY |
