AN APRIL SEQUENCE: 1. PREMONITION, by EDWARD JOSEPH HARRINGTON O'BRIEN Poet's Biography First Line: Where does the wind from the wilding blow Last Line: Can april wonder be far behind? Subject(s): Memory; Spring | ||||||||
Where does the wind from the wilding blow Troubling the dream-caught woods of dawn With hushed remembrance of woven music Out of the shadowy gates of horn? Under the still-fringed water-meadows Colour is veining the grassy ways. Over the dove-clad clouds of winter A lark's cry falls through the ringing haze. Wind and water and star-paled heaven Mingle in colour and whisper of wind. Earth and air call unto the Father. Can April wonder be far behind? | 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 VARIATIONS ON A THEME: ROMANCE by EDITH SITWELL ODE SUNG IN THE TOWN HALL, CONCORD, JULY 4, 1857 by RALPH WALDO EMERSON |
