SPRING SONG, by MAVIS CLARE BARNETT First Line: There was a child who tried to run Last Line: Was always half a field away. Subject(s): Singing & Singers; Spring; Songs | |||
There was a child who tried to run Trough all the fields and fields of spring For always the next creek in the sun Might be the one for following. He ran by leafless willow-trees And only wanted one bird note, One wild, wild shout of birds to ease The pent-up shouting in his throat. He came upon an old haystack, Its yellow soaked away in rain And there he lay upon his back And wondered if he could explain Why what he found he did not seek, And what he sought he could not say, And why the sun on every creek Was always half a field away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY ADOLESCENCE by MAVIS CLARE BARNETT |
