Analysis of Birdcage Walk
David Herbert Lawrence 1885 (Eastwood, Nottinghamshire) – 1930 (Vence)
When the wind blows her veil
And uncovers her laughter
I cease, I turn pale.
When the wind blows her veil
From the woes I bewail
Of love and hereafter:
When the wind blows her veil
I cease, I turn pale.
