SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 14, by BLISS CARMAN Poet's Biography First Line: The rain-wind from the east Last Line: There, there, sweetheart! Subject(s): Rain; Wind | ||||||||
The rain-wind from the East, So long a wanderer Beyond the sources of the sun, Brings back the crocus April and the showers. A heart upwelling in the forest flowers Has made them lovers every one. Who makes the twilight seem to stir In happy tears released? There, there, sweetheart! The night-wind from the West, The broad eaves of the sky, Brings back across the orchard hills The memories of a thousand springs with him; And the white apple valleys in a dream Listen to the dark whippoorwills. Is the old burden of their joy So great they cannot rest?
