SONNET: COMPOSED ON A MARCH MORNING IN THE WOODS, by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The winds are loud and trumpet-clear to-day Last Line: Blooms as once bloomed the fair hesperides. Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
THE winds are loud and trumpet-clear to-day; They seem to sound an onset, half in ire, Half in the wildness of a vague desire To force spring's fairy vanguard to delay; For here, methinks, worn winter stands at bay, Yet stands how vainly! spring-time's subtlest fire Melts his cold heart to nothingness, while nigher Draw April hosts, and rearward powers of May -- All maiden verdures, concords of sweet air, Stealing as dawn steals gently on the world; Breezes, balm-laden, blown from distant seas, With armies of blush-roses, dew-impearled, Till Earth reclaimed from winter's grim despair Blooms as once bloomed the fair Hesperides. | 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 STORM IN THE DISTANCE (AMONG THE GEORGIAN HILLS) by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE |
