SPRING came in with a red-wing's feather And yellow clumps of the wild marsh-mallow O happy bird, can you tell me whether In distant France they have April weather? And little pools that are sunny and shallow? My soul is awake and my pulse is racing My heart is aware that the birds are mating Oh, my heart's like a cloud that the wind is chasing O'er the earth's green blur with its silver tracing To that sad France where there's someone waiting! O Spring! begone with your too-sweet clover And all your bees with honey to carry Come again when the war is over, Come, dear Spring, when you bring my lover! Yet come no more, should he tarry ... tarry! | 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 CHRISTMAS CHILD by ISABEL ECCLESTONE MACKAY |
