IN MEMORY: MISS JEWETT, by GRACE ALLERTON ANDREWS First Line: In paradise 'how comes the spring?' Last Line: Since you are there. Subject(s): Jewett, Sophie (1861-1909); Wellesley College | |||
IN Paradise "how comes the spring?" With us again the spring world thrills To old familiar loveliness. Your birds from blossom-branches sing; With violets the slopes, the hills And meadows with your green are spread; And in a sweet and shady place The latest of your daffodils Lifts up its sunny head. Yet we who walk them only meet, In ways once trodden of your feet, New loneliness. How bloom the flowers of love and peace In that far land we have not seen? What beauty that we may not know For you who loved our "green earth" so? We cannot know; we only dream In Paradise the spring is fair, Since you are there. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES WRITTEN TO A TRANSLATOR OF GREEK POETRY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON THE LESSER BEAUTY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON WORK by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON HERE ENTER NOT by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON I CLEANED MY HOUSE TODAY by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON MY GARDEN by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON BUCOLIC COMEDY: EARLY SPRING by EDITH SITWELL A SPINSTER'S STINT by ALICE CARY THE ARAB TO HIS FAVORITE STEED by CAROLINE ELIZABETH SARAH SHERIDAN NORTON |
