BREAST TO BREAST by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHAT STRANGE COMMOTION, LOVE
Last Line: ARE FLUTTERING BREAST TO BREAST!
Subject(s): LOVE;

What strange commotion, Love,
Is seen on yonder bough?
'It's only a bird,' said she –
'Or little winds that blow.'
Only a bird, my Love?
Who sees the best –
When bird and leaf together
Are fluttering breast to breast!
