THE BLUEBIRD, by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON Poet's Biography First Line: In the very spring Last Line: He is off, he is mutely whelmed in the southern haze! Subject(s): Birds; Bluebirds; March (month); Singing & Singers; Spring; Songs | |||
IN the very spring, Nay, in the bluster of March, or haply before, The bluebird comes, and, a-wing Or alight, seems evermore For song that is sweet and soft. His footprints oft Make fretwork along the snow When the weather is bleak ablow, When his hardihood by cold is pinched full sore. Then deep in the fall, In the Indian-summer while, in the dreamy days, When the errant songsters all Grow slack in songful ways, You may hear his warble still By field or hill; Until, with an azure rush Of motion, music -- hush! He is off, he is mutely whelmed in the southern haze! | 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 BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
