EARLY SPRING, by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE Poet's Biography First Line: Come ye so early Last Line: Was I with my dear! Subject(s): Life; Muses; Spring | ||||||||
COME ye so early, Days of delight? Making the hill-side Blithesome and bright? Merrily, merrily, Little brooks rush, Down by the meadow, Under the bush. Welkin and hill-top, Azure and cool; Fishes are sporting In streamlet and pool. Birds of gay feather Flit through the grove, Singing together, Ditties of love. Busily coming From moss-cover'd bowers, Brown bees are humming, Questing for flowers. Lightsome emotion, Life everywhere; Faint wafts of fragrance Scenting the air. Now comes there sounding A sough of the breeze, Shakes through the thicket, Sinks in the trees. Sinks, but returning, It ruffles my hair; Aid me this rapture, Muses, to bear! Know ye the passion That stirs in me here? Yestre'en at gloaming Was I with my dear! | 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 A SONG FROM THE COPTIC by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE FAUST: SCENE 1.
