DAINTY little maiden, whither would you wander? Whither from this pretty home, the home where mother dwells? 'Far and far away,' said the dainty little maiden, 'All among the gardens, auriculas, anemones, Roses and lilies and Canterbury bells.' Dainty little maiden, whither would you wander? Whiter from this pretty house, this city-house of ours? 'Far and far away,' said the dainty little maiden, 'All among the meadows, the clover and the clematis, Daisies and kingcups and honeysuckle-flowers.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: BENJAMIN PANTIER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS IDYLLS OF THE KING: MERLIN AND VIVIEN by ALFRED TENNYSON AT A COWBOY DANCE by JAMES BARTON ADAMS LYNCHED by FRANK ANKENBRAND JR.
