LOVE MAKES THE SPRING by LOUISE CHANDLER MOULTON

Poet Analysis

First Line: HAS SPRING COME BACK? IS THIS THE MAY
Last Line: "SPRING HAS COME BACK."
Subject(s): SPRING;

HAS Spring come back? Is this the May
That makes the air so bland to-day?
The wild sweet winds are glad to know --
The waiting flowers begin to blow,
Green things are blithe along the way.

"What happy spell," I hear them say,
"Has turned the Winter into May?"
Each to the other -- "Do you know?
Has Spring come back?"

Ah, Love is he who warms the day,
And turns the Winter into May --
And happy things begin to grow,
Alive with Love's glad overflow,
And answer to his ardent ray --
"Spring has come back."
