IN NEATH VALLEY by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: BETWEEN TWO ROWS OF TREES
Last Line: SEE NONE MORE GREAT THAN I.
Between two rows of trees,
Here let me take my ease;

To see the light afar,
Shining like one big star.

Is it not fine to lie
With boughs to change my sky;

Alone in this green way,
And let my fancies play?

Now as a growing boy
Will sometimes stand for joy

Tiptoe behind men small,
And raise himself as tall --

So shall my fancy's eye
See none more great than I.
