SILVER HOURS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: COME, LOVELY MORNING, RICH IN FROST
Last Line: THE HEAVENS ALL DANCE IN LIGHT!
Subject(s): MORNING;

Come, lovely Morning, rich in frost
On iron, wood and glass;
Show all your pains to silver-gild
Each little blade of grass.

Come, rich and lovely Winter's Eve,
That seldom handles gold;
And spread your silver sunsets out,
In glittering fold on fold.

Come, after sunset; come, Oh come –
You clear and frosty Night:
Dig up your fields of diamonds, till
The heavens all dance in light!
