APRIL, 1885, by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Wanton with long delay the gay spring leaping cometh Last Line: In bulging heads that crown for miles the dazzling south. Alternate Author Name(s): Bridges, Robert+(2) Subject(s): April | |||
Wanton with long delay the gay spring leaping cometh; The blackthorn starreth now his bough on the eve of May: All day in the sweet box-tree the bee for pleasure hummeth: The cuckoo sends afloat his note on the air all day. Now dewy nights again and rain in gentle shower At root of tree and flower have quenched the winter's drouth: On high the hot sun smiles, and banks of cloud uptower In bulging heads that crown for miles the dazzling south. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR CITY SPRING by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET ESSAY ON STONE by HAYDEN CARRUTH APRIL NOT AN INVENTORY BUT A BLIZZARD by ALICE NOTLEY APRIL ONE by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER APRIL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS MEMORY OF APRIL by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS APRIL MORTALITY by LEONIE ADAMS A PASSER-BY by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES |
