THE WINDOW; OR, THE SONG OF THE WRENS: AT THE WINDOW by ALFRED TENNYSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: VINE, VINE AND EGLANTINE
Last Line: DROPT, A FLOWER.
Subject(s): FLOWERS;
Vine, vine and eglantine,
Clasp her window, trail and twine!
Rose, rose and clematis,
Trail and twine and clasp and kiss,
Kiss, kiss; and make her a bower
All of flowers, and drop me a flower,
Drop me a flower.

Vine, vine and eglantine,
Cannot a flower, a flower, be mine?
Rose, rose and clematis,
Drop me a flower, a flower, to kiss,
Kiss, kiss -- and out of her bower
All of flowers, a flower, a flower,
Dropt, a flower.
