SPRING, by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE Poet's Biography First Line: What did spring-time whisper? Last Line: Spring has come! Subject(s): Nature; Spring | ||||||||
WHAT did Spring-time whisper? O ye rivulets, Waking from your trance so sad, Pleased to welcome fisher-lad With his little nets, Speed, for summer's in the air, Prattle, for the breeze is warm, Chatter by the otter's lair, Bubble past the ivied farm; Wake the primrose on the banks, Bid the violet ope her eyes, Hurry in a flood of thanks Underneath serener skies! What a revel's coming soon Fairies trooping o'er the leas, Making magic by the moon, Crowned with wood anemones! What a haunted heart the thrush Nurses in the blackthorn bush, Full of splendid songs to sing, Cheery welcomes of the Spring Spring has come! | 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 THE COUNTRY FAITH by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE |
