THE RESURRECTION, by GEORGE CRABBE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The wintry winds have ceased to blow Last Line: Throughout the varying year. | |||
THE wintry winds have ceased to blow, And trembling leaves appear; And fairest flowers succeed the snow, And hail the infant year. So, when the world and all its woes Are vanish'd far away, Fair scenes and wonderful repose Shall bless the new-born day, -- When, from the confines of the grave, The body too shall rise; No more precarious passion's slave, Nor error's sacrifice. 'Tis but a sleep -- and Sion's king Will call the many dead: 'Tis but a sleep -- and then we sing, O'er dreams of sorrow fled. Yes! -- wintry winds have ceased to blow, And trembling leaves appear, And Nature has her types to show Throughout the varying year. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A HUMBLE INVOCATION by GEORGE CRABBE A MARRIAGE RING by GEORGE CRABBE A WEARY TRAVELLER by GEORGE CRABBE AN EPISTLE TO A FRIEND by GEORGE CRABBE BELVOIR CASTLE; WRITTEN AT THE REQUEST OF DUCHESS OF RUTLAND by GEORGE CRABBE CONCLUDING LINES OF PRIZE POEM ON HOPE by GEORGE CRABBE EPISTLE TO PRINCE WILLIAM HENRY by GEORGE CRABBE |
