UNDAUNTED EVERGREENS, by MARY JANE CARR Poet's Biography First Line: The evergreens stand proudly now Last Line: And sing triumphantly of spring! Subject(s): Storms; Trees; Winter | |||
The evergreens stand proudly now, When all the other trees are bare; As bravely green as if 'twere spring Instead of winter, everywhere; They are like Norsemen, Viking-bold, Who breast the bitter northern gale With head unbowed and cheek unblanched, Where weaker men would faint and fail; See, in the midst of trees that cringe, Dismayed by winter's buffeting, They laugh a challenge to the storm And sing triumphantly of spring! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOOKING EAST IN THE WINTER by JOHN HOLLANDER WINTER DISTANCES by FANNY HOWE WINTER FORECAST by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN AT WINTER'S EDGE by JUDY JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 34 by JAMES JOYCE |
