FROM A MOTOR IN MAY, by CORINNE ROOSEVELT ROBINSON Poet's Biography First Line: The leaves of autumn and the buds of spring Last Line: The leaves of autumn guard the buds of spring. Subject(s): Autumn; May (month); Nature; Order; Seasons; Spring; Fall | ||||||||
The leaves of Autumn and the buds of Spring Meet and commingle on our winding way And we, who glide into the heart of May, Sense in our souls a sudden quivering. What though the flesh of blue or scarlet wing Bid us forget the night in dawning day, Skies of November, sullen, sad, and gray, Once hung above this withered covering. There is no Spring that Autumn has not known, Nor any Autumn Spring has not divined, The odor of dead flowers on the wind Shall but enrich a fairer blossoming, And though they shiver from a breeze outblown, The leaves of Autumn guard the buds of Spring. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OUR AUTUMN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN AN AUTUMN JOY by GEORGE ARNOLD A LEAF FALLS by MARION LOUISE BLISS THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A LETTER IN OCTOBER by TED KOOSER AUTUMN EVENING by DAVID LEHMAN EVERYTHING THAT ACTS IS ACTUAL by DENISE LEVERTOV FROM THE CASTELLO by CORINNE ROOSEVELT ROBINSON |
