SONG, by THOMAS CAMPBELL Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When love came first to earth, the spring Last Line: That likes all times and seasons. Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Spring; Fall | ||||||||
WHEN LOVE came first to Earth, the SPRING Spread rose-beds to receive him, And back he vowed his flight he'd wing To Heaven, if she should leave him -- But SPRING departing, saw his faith Pledged to the next new-comer -- He revelled in the warmer breath And richer bowers of SUMMER. Then sportive AUTUMN claimed by rights An Archer for her lover, And ev'n in WINTER'S dark cold nights A charm he could discover. Her routs and balls, and fireside joy, For this time were his reasons -- In short, Young Love's a gallant boy, That likes all times and seasons. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR AUTUMN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN AN AUTUMN JOY by GEORGE ARNOLD A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A LETTER IN OCTOBER by TED KOOSER AUTUMN EVENING by DAVID LEHMAN EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV BATTLE OF THE BALTIC by THOMAS CAMPBELL DOWNFALL OF POLAND [FALL OF WARSAW, 1794] by THOMAS CAMPBELL |
