WISDOM BORN OF SPRING, by FLORA WHITE First Line: The golden throated frog turning liquidity ... Last Line: As he plunges underneath the darkly shining surface of a pool. Subject(s): Animals; Frogs; Spring | ||||||||
The golden throated frog turning liquidity to song Throbs forth in ecstasy, "From death comes life." He had foreborne by day (trembling the while) Till wood and mist and evening hour conjoined To give flood-tide to his empyreal sight -- Then warningly he tells the listening few That life is also death, gulping the hemlock As he plunges underneath the darkly shining surface of a pool. | 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 CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE |
