ALIEN, by RACHEL BALDWIN First Line: I little know when spring is Last Line: Who tarries when they call. | ||||||||
I little know when Spring is. She goes a freer way Than draws before a narrow door That jails the restive day. I've little speech with Fall-time: Her path is swift and red. (But once I caught a bold leaf That fluttered from her head.) Too well I know the bare times Of burning walls, of cold . . . Let April wanton by the creek, October on the wold. The free-born will not tread stone To share a gloomy thrall; And evil fate will doom him Who tarries when they call. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO SEE THE STARS IN DAYLIGHT by JAMES GALVIN OBERMANN ONCE MORE by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE MAIDEN QUEEN: SONG by JOHN DRYDEN VAN ELSEN by FREDERICK GEORGE SCOTT CALAIS SANDS by MATTHEW ARNOLD AN EPITAPH, ON A FOOLISH BOASTER by PHILIP AYRES |
