Metaphor
"His thoughts as silver flow"
Metaphor in Context
See first a man--of heart as proud
As Lucifer, and half as loud:
As wanton too his eye:
Believe his tale, he's meek and low:
So pure--His thoughts as silver flow:
His mind ne'er mounted high!
As Lucifer, and half as loud:
As wanton too his eye:
Believe his tale, he's meek and low:
So pure--His thoughts as silver flow:
His mind ne'er mounted high!
