MARCH, by EFFIE WALLER SMITH Poet's Biography First Line: Hail! Gruff messenger of spring! Last Line: Beautifying hill and plain. Subject(s): March (month); Nature; Spring | ||||||||
Hail! gruff messenger of Spring! March so mad and blustering With your howling winds that blow Into drift-heaps huge the snow. But when there come your latter days The sap in trees begins to raise, And far beneath the sleet and snow Flowers too begin to grow. What care we for your sleet and snow, Or how your winds may rage and blow? For winter now is in its wane, And 'twill soon be Spring again. Yes, the Spring is almost here, And the grass will soon appear, And the flowers will come again Beautifying hill and plain. | 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 A GOOD-BYE by EFFIE WALLER SMITH |
