LITTLE FLOWER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: LITTLE FLOWER, I HOLD YOU HERE
Last Line: BUT A CHILD COULD DO NO MORE.
Subject(s): COUNTRY LIFE;
Little Flower, I hold you here,
Between my finger-tips;
Can I do more for your sweet smell
That kiss you with my lips?
Little Flower,
I am an old man –
But a child could do no more.
