IN SPRING, by MARGERY ATWOOD TODAHL First Line: Under the sun Last Line: The things we know? Subject(s): Arthurian Legend; Spring; Arthur, King | ||||||||
Under the sun Are these things new, Or only so To me and you? Was April ever Like this before? Daffodils . . . swallows . . . An open door . . . Did Camelot's towers Shine half so bright As the far village To our rapt sight? Did Guinevere loose In the warm south wind Her golden hair For her love to bind? And did they kiss, Then let the birds Say on what couldn't Be said in words? Three thousand years Or three days ago, Did any one know The things we know? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LANCELOT by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON MERLIN by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON GALAHAD IN THE CASTLE OF THE MAIDENS by SARA TEASDALE ELAINE by EDNA ST.
