SPRING, by ANACREON Poet's Biography First Line: See the spring herself discloses Last Line: Freshly bourgeons every bough. Alternate Author Name(s): Anakreon; Anacreontea Subject(s): Flowers; Roses; Spring | |||
SEE the Spring herself discloses, And the Graces gather roses; See how the becalmed seas Now their swelling waves appease; How the duck swims, how the crane Comes from winter home again; See how Titan's cheerful ray Chaseth the dark clouds away; Now in their new robes of green Are the plowman's labors seen: Now the lusty teeming Earth Springs each hour with a new birth; Now the olive blooms: the vine Now doth with plump pendants shine; And with leaves and blossoms now Freshly bourgeons every bough. | 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 |
