As we dance round a-ring-a-ring, A maiden goes a-maying; And here a flower, and there a flower, Through mead and meadow straying: O gentle one, why dost thou weep? -- Silver to spend with; gold to keep; Till spin the green round World asleep, And Heaven its dews by staying. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNTITLED, 1968; FOR MARK ROTHKO by JAMES GALVIN THE POET; SONNET by AMY LOWELL BROTHERHOOD (2) by EDWIN MARKHAM SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: COLUMBUS CHENEY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS TO W.P.: 4 by GEORGE SANTAYANA SICILIAN EMIGRANT'S SONG by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS SONG: WOO'D AND MARRIED AND A' by JOANNA BAILLIE ILKA BLADE O' GRASS KEPS ITS AIN DRAP O' DEW by JAMES BALLANTYNE |
