ECHOES OF SPRING: 6, by MATHILDE BLIND Poet's Biography First Line: Oh, birds, winged voices! Children of the light! Last Line: Ye, with the sunlight, range o'er land and main. Alternate Author Name(s): Lake, Claude Subject(s): Poetry & Poets; Spring | |||
Oh, birds, winged voices! children of the light! Whose song is love, whose love is melody; Shedding o'er hedge, and field, and bush, and tree, Your tuneful joy and musical delight, Making the air, the earth, the heavens bright; Melodious, tender, sad and gay and free; By all these gifts true poets born are ye; Love circumscribes alone your restless flight. Poets, I say? Ah, not like poets here, That wander forth alone, companionless; Whose lays are wrung from them by care and pain; Who sing, while blinded by the hot salt tear. Not such are ye; but free from all distress, Ye, with the sunlight, range o'er land and main. | 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 |
