THE QUICK YEARS, by DOROTHY SPROULE First Line: The quick years pass like birds in hurried flight Last Line: Are now about your feet. Subject(s): Aging | ||||||||
The quick years pass like birds in hurried flight, Cleaving all space with swift and shining wing, Blown over spray of cloud to endless day Where life remains a fair and radiant thing. As if your rose had climbed a garden wall Your eager eyes in fadeless bloom to greet; And golden stars that were above your head Are now about your feet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AFTER THE GENTLE POET KOBAYASHI ISSA by ROBERT HASS MEMORY AS A HEARING AID by TONY HOAGLAND AMOROSA AND COMPANY by CONRAD AIKEN GRAY WEATHER by ROBINSON JEFFERS FROM THE SPANISH by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON |
