THE LAWYER'S INVOCATION TO SPRING, by HENRY HOWARD BROWNELL Poet's Biography First Line: Whereas, on certain boughs and sprays Last Line: Hail, as aforesaid, coming spring! Subject(s): Ingenuity; Law & Lawyers; Spring; Attorneys | ||||||||
WHEREAS, on certain boughs and sprays Now divers birds are heard to sing, And sundry flowers their heads upraise, Hail to the coming on of spring! The songs of those said birds arouse The memory of our youthful hours, As green as those said sprays and boughs, As fresh and sweet as those said flowers. The birds aforesaid, -- happy pairs, -- Love, mid the aforesaid boughs, inshrines In freehold nests; themselves, their heirs, Administrators, and assigns. O busiest term of Cupid's Court, Where tender plaintiffs actions bring, -- Season of frolic and of sport, Hail, as aforesaid, coming spring! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JAKE MANN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SIX POETS IN SEATCH OF A LAWYER by DONALD HALL ANY AND ALL by LAWRENCE JOSEPH DOMESDAY BOOK: JANE FISHER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS DOMESDAY BOOK: THE GOVERNOR by EDGAR LEE MASTERS LAW LIKE LOVE by WYSTAN HUGH AUDEN THE LAWYER'S WAYS by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR LEGAL FICTION by WILLIAM EMPSON SUMTER by HENRY HOWARD BROWNELL |
