IN SPRING, by MATHILDE BLIND Poet's Biography First Line: The young birds shy twitter Last Line: Oh bring me my love! Alternate Author Name(s): Lake, Claude Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
THE young birds shy twitter In hedges and bowers, Fields brighten and glitter With dewdrops and flowers. Over flood, over fallow, Impelled by old yearning, The nest-building swallow Exults at returning; For dark days and hoary Are routed and over, Dark Winter is gone; Resplendent in glory, The earth meets her lover, Her bridegroom the Sun. Must I alone sorrow, Despairingly languish, Breaks never a morrow On the night of my anguish? The jubilant gladness In bird, beam, and blossom, But deepens the sadness That weighs on my bosom. Oh, Spring, in whose azure Wake follow the starling, The daisy, the dove; Sweet spendthrift of pleasure, Brings also my darling, Oh bring me my love! | 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 |
