BRING on the springI am wearied of winter; Come, O you summerI sicken of cold. Set up my metrical matter, O printer! (Century 10-point, or Cheltenham bold.) Yearn I diurnally now for the gentle Ray of the May-day's inspiriting sun; Long I for song and the sweet sentimental Talk as I walk with a Definite One. Go away, snow, I am wearied, I tell you Ill of the chill that has tarried too long! Sprint away, winter, I long to farewell you Hey! for the May and the season of song! Down with a town that is windy and sloppy! Up with the cup that is symbol of spring! Ho! for the poems we writers of copy Make for the sake of the sound of the thing! | 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 LINES FROM A PLUTOCRATIC POETASTER TO A DITCH-DIGGER by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS |
