JEST rain and snow! and rain again! And dribble! drip! and blow! Then snow! and thaw! and slush! and then -- Some more rain and snow! This morning I was 'most afeard To wake up -- when, I jing! I seen the sun shine out and heerd The first blue-bird of Spring! -- Mother she'd raised the winder some; -- And in acrost the orchard come, Soft as an angel's wing, A breezy, treesy, beesy hum, Too sweet for any thing! The winter's shroud was rent apart -- The sun bust forth is glee, -- And when that blue-bird sung, my hart Hopped out o' bed with me! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MAN WITH THE WOODEN LEG by KATHERINE MANSFIELD IN GRANTCHESTER MEADOWS; ON HEARING A SKYLARK SING by GEORGE SANTAYANA WERENA MY HEART'S LICHT I WAD DEE by GRISELL BAILLIE IN THE LAND WHERE WE WERE DREAMING by DANIEL BEDINGER LUCAS AGAINST INDIFFERENCE by CHARLES WEBBE |
