APRIL, by RALPH WALDO EMERSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The april winds are magical Last Line: The lore we care to know. Subject(s): April | ||||||||
The April winds are magical, And thrill our tuneful frames; The garden-walks are passional To bachelors and dames. The hedge is gemmed with diamonds, The air with Cupids full, The clews of fairy Rosamonds Guide lovers to the pool. Each dimple in the water, Each leaf that shades the rock, Can cozen, pique, and flatter, Can parley and provoke. Goodfellow, Puck, and goblins Know more than any book; Down with your doleful problems, And court the sunny brook. The south-winds are quick-witted, The schools are sad and slow, The masters quite omitted The lore we care to know. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR CITY SPRING by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET ESSAY ON STONE by HAYDEN CARRUTH APRIL NOT AN INVENTORY BUT A BLIZZARD by ALICE NOTLEY APRIL ONE by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER APRIL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS MEMORY OF APRIL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS APRIL MORTALITY by LEONIE ADAMS |
