ON MY MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS

Poet Analysis

First Line: CLAD IN ALL THEIR BRIGHTEST GREEN
Last Line: COMBINE TO BLESS THY NATAL DAY.
Subject(s): BIRTHDAYS; MOTHERS;

CLAD in all their brightest green,
This day the verdant fields are seen;
The tuneful birds begin their lay,
To celebrate thy natal day.
The breeze is still, the sea is calm,
And the whole scene combines to charm;
The flowers revive, this charming May,
Because it is thy natal day.
The sky is blue, the day serene,
And only pleasure now is seen;
The rose, the pink, the tulip gay,
Combine to bless thy natal day.
