THE HOPES OF SPRING, by CHARLES LOUIS HENRY WAGNER First Line: There's a mellow warmth in the soft south wind Last Line: Tis the land where the sun-sprites smile. Subject(s): Poetry & Poets; Spring | ||||||||
There's a mellow warmth in the soft south wind. When snows of the north have fled, The gods be thanked for Spring; (Thus we of the East-climes sing) There are no regrets for the days behind, But there's joy in the days ahead, Oh, joy in the Hopes of Spring! As an incense burned in a golden bowl Casts spells of divining power And opens the Future's gates, So the wind from the south creates A mystic spell o'er the poet's soul, A vision of tree and flower In bloom beside jasper gates. And the south wind brings to the poet's soul A dream of a golden strand, And mirrors the sun-sprite's smile Who dwells in the climes worth while, For the dreamer's dream marks the poet's goal In the days of the near-at-hand, 'Tis the land where the sun-sprites smile. | 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 DROP OF INK by CHARLES LOUIS HENRY WAGNER |
