Title: I had a dove
Post by: jayanta karmaker on November 24, 2010, 12:35:17 AM

I HAD a dove and the sweet dove died;
And I have thought it died of grieving:
O, what could it grieve for? Its feet were tied,
With a silken thread of my own hand's weaving;
Sweet little red feet! why should you die -
Why should you leave me, sweet bird! why?
You liv'd alone in the forest-tree,
Why, pretty thing! would you not live with me?
I kiss'd you oft and gave you white peas;
Why not live sweetly, as in the green trees?

Hello Jayanta,

Thanks. I think you have forgotten to mention the poet name, "John Keats".
