HEDGE, by CAMELIN WHITE First Line: I have a hedge; to passers by Last Line: Around a bit of kansas lawn. Subject(s): Hedges | |||
I have a hedge; to passers by It's just a boundary, but to me It spells a meager recompense For storied lands I'll never see. Always in books I lived and rode With hunter, horn, lean hounds, and fox Through meadows bound with English hedge -- Past gardens framed in yew or box. Though England I may never see, Nor hear the lark's clear call at dawn, Yet I've a hedgerow neatly clipped Around a bit of Kansas Lawn. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...H IS FOR HEDGE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES HEDGES by CLAUDE COLLEER ABBOTT THE VIKING GRAVE AT LADBY by KAREN SWENSON IMITATION OF POPE: A COMPLIMENT TO THE LADIES by WILLIAM BLAKE ON THE BUST OF HELEN BY CANOVA by GEORGE GORDON BYRON PROMETHEUS by GEORGE GORDON BYRON A VALEDICTION: OF THE BOOKE by JOHN DONNE AN HORATIAN ODE UPON CROMWELL'S RETURN FROM IRELAND by ANDREW MARVELL |
