Daisies, clover, buttercup, Red-top, trefoil, meadowsweet, Ecstatic pinions, soaring up, Then gliding down to grassy seat. Sunshine, laughter, mad desires, May day, June day, lucid skies, All reckless moods that love inspires -- The gladdest bird that sings and flies. Meadows, orchards, bending sprays, Rushes, lilies, billowy wheat, Song and frolic fill his days, A feathered rondeau all complete. Pink bloom, gold bloom, fleabane white, Dewdrop, raindrop, cooling shade, Bubbling throat and hovering flight, And jocund heart as e'er was made. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DINNER IN A QUICK LUNCH ROOM by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET RELIEVING GUARD by FRANCIS BRET HARTE TO JOHN DONNE (2) by BEN JONSON HE WROTE THE HISTORY BOOK,' IT SAID by MARIANNE MOORE AT FREDERICKSBURG [DECEMBER 13, 1862] by JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY |
