THE ENKINDLED SPRING, by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: This spring as it comes bursts up in bonfires green Last Line: Less that the wind that runs to the flamy call! Alternate Author Name(s): Lawrence, D. H. Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
THIS spring as it comes bursts up in bonfires green, Wild puffing of green-fire trees, and flame-green bushes, Thorn-blossom lifting in wreaths of smoke between Where the wood fumes up and the flickering, watery rushes. I am amazed at this spring, this conflagration Of green fires lit on the soil of the earth, this blaze Of growing, these smoke-puffs that puff in wild gyration, Faces of people streaming across my gaze! And I, what sort of fire am I among This conflagration of spring? the gap in it all --! Not even palish smoke like the rest of the throng Less that the wind that runs to the flamy call! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND A SPRING SONG by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN SPRING'S RETURN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SPRING IN WINTER by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES SPRING ON THE PRAIRIE by HERBERT BATES THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A BABY ASLEEP AFTER PAIN by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE |
