APRIL, by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Come, then, with showers; I love thy cloudy face Last Line: Above the waves' grave diapasoning. Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter | ||||||||
Come, then, with showers; I love thy cloudy face Gilded with splendour of the sunbeams thro' The heedless glory of thy locks. I know The arch, sweet languour of thy fleeting grace, The windy lovebeams of thy dwelling-place, Thy dim dells wherein azure bluebells blow, The brimming rivers where thy lightnings go Harmless and full and swift from race to race. Thou takest all young hearts captive with thine eyes; At rumour of thee the tongues of children ring Louder than bees; the golden poplars rise Like trumps of peace; and birds, on homeward wing, Fly mocking echoes shrill along the skies, Above the waves' grave diapasoning. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALONE (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE AN EPITAPH by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ARABIA by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE BUNCHES OF GRAPES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ECHO by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE ENGLAND (2) by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FARE WELL by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE FIVE EYES by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE JOHN MOULDY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE MOTLEY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
