ECHOES OF SPRING: 10, by MATHILDE BLIND Poet's Biography First Line: With thousand gaps the earth is split Last Line: Will solace ever come to me? Alternate Author Name(s): Lake, Claude Subject(s): Grief; Spring; Sorrow; Sadness | |||
With thousand gaps the earth is split, By sunbeams wounded o'er and o'er, My heart, it acheth bit by bit; Life's heat and dust have made it sore. When wilt thou fall from clouds above, In silver showers, refreshing rain? When wilt thou come, reviving love, With dew, and make me whole again? A little while, big drops will slake, Oh, earth, thy thirst's hot agony; But till my fevered heart doth break, Will solace ever come to me? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE DIRGE AT THE END OF THE WOODS by LEONIE ADAMS |
