A FINE DAY, by KATHERINE MANSFIELD Poet's Biography First Line: After all the rain, the sun Last Line: "thank you, sun, for everything." Alternate Author Name(s): Murry, John Middleton, Mrs.; Beauchamp, Kathleen | ||||||||
After all the rain, the sun Shines on hill and grassy mead; Fly into the garden, child, You are very glad indeed. For the days have been so dull, Oh, so special dark and drear, That you told me, "Mr. Sun Has forgotten we live here." Dew upon the lily lawn, Dew upon the garden beds; Daintly from all the leaves Pop the little primrose heads. And the violets in the copse With their parasols of green Take a little peek at you; They're the bluest you have seen. On the lilac tree a bird Singing first a little not, Then a burst of happy song Bubbles in his lifted throat. O the sun, the comfy sun! This the song that you must sing, "Thank you for the birds, the flowers, Thank you, sun, for everything." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VILLA PAULINE by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE OPAL DREAM CAVE by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE SECRET by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THE EARTH-CHILD IN THE GRASS by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SONG OF THE LITTLE WHITE GIRL by KATHERINE MANSFIELD OPPOSITES by KATHERINE MANSFIELD SONG OF KAREN, THE DANCING CHILD by KATHERINE MANSFIELD FAIRY TALE by KATHERINE MANSFIELD |
