Dew-Drop And Diamond Poem by Robert Graves
Dew-Drop And Diamond
The difference between you and her
(whom I to you did once prefer)
Is clear enough to settle:
She like a diamond shone, but you
Shine like an early drop of dew
Poised on a red rose petal.
The dew-drop carries in its eye
Mountain and forest, sea and sky,
With every change of weather;
Contrariwise, a diamond splits
The prospect into idle bits
That none can piece together.
'Is clear enough to settle'! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Wonderful simile! Wonderful observations! A nice poem of the day!
That none can piece together//// none can pieces that together though there is difference seemingly but in love no difference between you and her .....beautiful poem really
Magnanimity of natural beauty bestowed on a dew drop wonderfully unveiled in the backdrop of the beauty bestowed on a diamond. Well deserving poem of the day. Congrats.
Great piece of work. Very apt comparison. The difference is clear. While the drop of dew holds the world in its smallness the diamond splits the world into fragments. Loved it.
She like a diamond shone, but you Shine like an early drop of dew Poised on a red rose petal. Diamond and dew drop. fine images. tony
