I. What's in your mind, my dove, my coney by W. H. Auden
Release Date
Performed by
W. H. AudenAbout
A rather un-self-conscious poem of love and desire, moving from insistent questions to a carpe diem close to draw a connection between thoughts and actions, in a kind of amorous cataclysm.
I. What’s in your mind, my dove, my coney Annotated
What's in your mind, my dove, my coney;
Do thoughts grow like feathers, the dead end of life;
Is it making of love or counting of money,
Or raid on the jewels, the plans of a thief?
Open your eyes, my dearest dallier;
Let hunt with your hands for escaping me;
Go through the motions of exploring the familiar;
Stand on the brink of the warm white day.
Rise with the wind, my great big serpent;
Silence the birds and darken the air;
Change me with terror, alive in a moment;
Strike for the heart and have me there.
