IN THE SPRING, by IBYCUS Poet's Biography First Line: In the season of spring is the season of growing Last Line: And shakes and shatters at will. Alternate Author Name(s): Ibykos Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
IN the season of Spring is the season of growing; Where lies the inviolate orchard-meadow, The apple-garden where Maidens dwell, There, watered freshly with runnels flowing, The quince-trees blossom, and safe in shadow The vine-buds under the vine-leaf swell In the season of Spring. But in my heart passion At no tide ever asleep is laid: From the Lady of Love as a blast of the North, When a blaze of lightning flashes it forth, With a rush, with a burst, In a dark storm parching and maddening with thirst, Unabashed, unafraid, It shoots to my bosom, gripping it still In the same rude fashion, And shakes and shatters at will. | 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 |
