FOREIGN SPRING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The charlock and the hemlock flowers
Last Line: I pause awhile and sigh.
Alternate Author Name(s): Duclaux, Madame Emile; Darmesteter, Mary; Robinson, A. Mary F.
Subject(s): Spring


THE charlock and the hemlock flowers
Have hung their laces o'er the green;
The buttercups are bright and sheen
As though the Spring were ours.

But through the poplar-rank there shines
The white interminable way;
And down the hill the budding vines
Go softly gloved in grey.

Amid a purer loftier sky
The foreign sun burns far and bright:
...O mistier fields! O tenderer light!
I pause awhile and sigh.
