THREE LOVES by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES

Poet Analysis

First Line: MY SILVER LOVE IS SHARED BY ALL
Last Line: ON MAT OR GRASS, OR STONE.
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE;
My silver love is shared by all,
With every flower and bird;
With every man that greets me well,
A friendly nod or word.
My golden love is kept for two,
That share my fire and mat;
A little dog with simple ways,
And my self-conscious cat.
My diamond love, more precious far,
Is shared by only one;
And where She is that love prevails,
On mat or grass, or stone.
