A DISTANT SPRING, by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE Poet's Biography First Line: I who love the spring so well Last Line: Blossoms white and blossoms red! Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
I WHO love the Spring so well Shall be sleeping, some glad day, When her hosts come back to dwell In their old, familiar way. I shall live, alas! no more In some distant April hour, When the Spring flings wide her door, Calling leaf, and bloom, and flower. I shall sleep -- but I shall dream In my home beneath the ground, And my slumbering heart shall teem With its visions deep, profound. I shall know, ere you will guess (Though with life I have no part), What new golden loveliness Stirs within the old earth's heart. I shall hear the first soft sound When the Spring is born anew, And rejoice, beneath the ground, At the bliss to come to you. And the dreams that I shall dream, In that Spring when I am dead, May arise until they seem Blossoms white and blossoms red! | 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 CITY ROOFS by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE |
