THE PROMISE OF SPRING, by ANNIE MATHESON Poet's Biography First Line: O day of god, thou bringest back Last Line: His sweet and silent ways. Subject(s): Flowers; Love; Roses; Spring | ||||||||
O DAY of God, thou bringest back The singing of the birds, With music for the hearts that lack, More musical than words! Thou meltest now the frozen deep Where dreaming love lay bound, Thou wakest life in buds asleep, And joy in skies that frowned. Not yet may almond-blossoms dare A wintry world to bless; Still do the trees their beauty wear Of glorious nakedness: But clouds are riven with the light Of old unclouded days, And Love unfolds to longing sight His sweet and silent ways. | 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 |
