THE SECRET, by READ BAIN First Line: Shall I seem silly speaking some of spring Last Line: The black manure -- the white killarney rose! Subject(s): Poetry & Poets; Secrets; Spring | |||
Shall I seem silly speaking some of spring As every man in every age has done; -- Assissi, singing to his Brother Sun, Or Browning, touching God's great Everything? And yet, this day! Bright with new coloring, The dandelion-gold spread ton on ton, The cherry frock of morning, sunshine-spun, The green of grass -- God's glorious gardening! He flings into the ceaseless time-machine Another spring -- and grinds out witching days. As they dance by in garments white and green, We simple souls must give them love and praise. A day, a blossom: Who the secret knows? The black manure -- the White Killarney rose! | 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 |
