SONG: SPRING, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: When buds of palm do burst and spread
Last Line: Like dewy violets under the green.
Subject(s): Autumn; Nature; Seasons; Spring; Fall


WHEN buds of palm do burst and spread
Their downy feathers in the lane,
And orchard blossoms, white and red,
Breathe Spring delight for Autumn gain;
And the skylark shakes his wings in the rain;

O then is the season to look for a bride!
Choose her warily, woo her unseen;
For the choicest maids are those that hide
Like dewy violets under the green.
