CATTLE SHOW, by CHRISTOPHER MURRAY GRIEVE Recitation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I shall go among red faces and virile voices Last Line: Whose laughter plays like summer lightning there. Alternate Author Name(s): Macdiarmid, Hugh Subject(s): Cattle | |||
I SHALL go among red faces and virile voices, See stylish sheep, with fine heads and well-woolled, And great bulls mellow to the touch, Brood mares of marvellous approach, and geldings With sharp and flinty bones and silken hair. And through th' enclosure draped in red and gold I shall pass on to spheres more vivid yet Where countesses' coque feathers gleam and glow And, swathed in silks, the painted ladies are Whose laughter plays like summer lightning there. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SEASON OF OMENS by JOHN PEPPER CLARK THE FIRST BIRTH by RODNEY JONES A COWBOY TOAST by JAMES BARTON ADAMS THE GRASS STEALERS by J.
