WANDERERS by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: WIDE ARE THE MEADOWS OF NIGHT
Last Line: THROUGH WHICH WE STRAY.

Wide are the meadows of night,
And daisies are shining there,
Tossing their lovely dews,
Lustrous and fair;
And through these sweet fields go,
Wand'rers 'mid the stars --
Venus, Mercury, Uranus, Neptune,
Saturn, Jupiter, Mars.

'Tired in their silver, they move,
And circling, whisper and say,
Fair are the blossoming meads of delight
Through which we stray.
