HAD SPRING NOT COME, by ANNA FRENCH JOHNSON First Line: Again old earth swings Last Line: My heart would have slept. Subject(s): Revivals; Spring; Religious Revivals | ||||||||
Again old earth swings Toward the sun: Eternal spring's At the door. Again old love wakes, Stirs my sleeping heart As it takes Toll once more Of exquisite pain, Or the breathless joy Of sharing again All that's gone before. Had old earth kept sealed Her secrets Under the snow, unrevealed, My heart would have slept. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AFTER THE SURPRISING CONVERSIONS by ROBERT LOWELL FAITH HEALER COME TO RABUN COUNTY by DAVID BOTTOMS LIGHT OF THE SACRED HARP by DAVID BOTTOMS AN EPISODE OF THE GREAT AWAKENING IN NEW ENGLAND by DONALD REVELL SISTER JONES'S CONFESSION by JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY MY MORNING PRAYER by ANNA FRENCH JOHNSON THE SECRET by KATHERINE MANSFIELD OCTAVES: 7 by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON TWO POEMS TO HANS THOMA ON HIS SIXIETH BIRTHDAY: 1.
