THE MEADOW by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: LEAFY WITH LITTLE CLOUDS, THE SKY
Last Line: WHILE BABBLING NONSENSE ON THE WAY.
Subject(s): FIELDS; PASTURES; MEADOWS; LEAS;
Leafy with little clouds, the sky
Is shining clear and bright.
How the grass shines -- it stains the air
Green over its own height!
And I could almost kneel for joy,
To see this lovely meadow now:
Go on my knees for half a day,
To kiss a handful here and there,
While babbling nonsense on the way.
