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

Poet Analysis

First Line: BIRDS' LOVE AND BIRDS' SONG
Last Line: AND ALL IN A NEST TOGETHER.
Subject(s): BIRDS; WRENS;
Birds' love and birds' song
Flying here and there,
Birds' song and birds' love,
And you with gold for hair!
Birds' song and birds' love,
Passing with the weather,
Men's song and men's love,
To love once and for ever.

Men's love and birds' love,
And women's love and men's!
And you my wren with a crown of gold,
You my queen of the wrens!
You the queen of the wrens --
We'll be birds of a feather,
I'll be King of the Queen of the wrens,
And all in a nest together.
