A MAIDEN o'erwearied With dance and song, The Earth, The Earth, The Earth sleeps long. And her dreams are all Of one mad sweet thing -- The kisses, The kisses, The kisses of Spring. Awake, O maiden, For joy draws near. Thy lover, Thy lover, Thy lover is here. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BUT NOW by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON PRELUDE TO A FAIRY TALE by EDITH SITWELL THE HOUSEKEEPER by ROBERT FROST THE LARK ASCENDING by GEORGE MEREDITH OUR BIRTH-CORD by KOFI ANYIDOHO FIRST RHYMES by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
