RONDEAU, by CHARLES D'ORLEANS Poem Explanation Poet's Biography First Line: The year has cast his cloak away Last Line: Of wind, and cold, and rainy sky. Alternate Author Name(s): D'orleans, Duc; Orleans, Charles Of Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
THE year has cast his cloak away Of wind, and cold, and rainy sky, And has put on his broidery Of sparkling sunshine, clear and gay. There are no beasts, nor birds, but they Each in his tongue do sing and cry, The year has cast his cloak away Of wind, and cold, and rainy sky. Rivers and springs and brooks display All their prettiest livery, Silvery drops and jewellery; They all are decked in fresh array: The year has cast his cloak away Of wind, and cold, and rainy sky. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND A SPRING SONG by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN SPRING'S RETURN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SPRING IN WINTER by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES SPRING ON THE PRAIRIE by HERBERT BATES THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD |
