THE VISITOR (1) by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: SHE BRINGS THAT BREATH, AND MUSIC TOO
Last Line: OR LYING FAST ASLEEP!
She brings that breath, and music too,
That comes when April's days begin;
And sweetness Autumn never had
In any bursting skin.

She's big with laughter at the breasts
Like netted fish they leap:
Oh God, that I were far from here,
Or lying fast asleep!
