SPRING MORNING, by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Ah, through the open door Last Line: Outside the door! Alternate Author Name(s): Lawrence, D. H. Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
Ah, through the open door Is there an almond-tree Aflame with blossom! -- Let us fight no more. Among the pink and blue Of the sky and the almond flowers A sparrow flutters. -- We have come through, It is really spring! -- See, When he thinks himself alone How he bullies the flowers. -- Ah, you and me How happy we'll be! -- See him? He clouts the tufts of flowers In his impudence. -- But, did you dream It would be so bitter? Never mind, It is finished, the spring is here. And we're going to be summer-happy And summer-kind. We have died, we have slain and been slain, We are not our old selves any more. I feel new and eager To start again. It is gorgeous to live and forget. And to feel quite new. See the bird in the flowers? -- he's making A rare to-do! He thinks the whole blue sky Is much less than the bit of blue egg He's got in his nest -- we'll be happy, You and I, I and you. With nothing to fight any more -- In each other, at least. See, how gorgeous the world is Outside the door! | 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 BABY ASLEEP AFTER PAIN by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE |
