AIR, by ANTOINETTE DU LIGIER DE LA GARDE DESHOULIERES Poem Explanation First Line: Pleasant springtide brings to birth Last Line: As many loves as flowers are. | ||||||||
PLEASANT springtide brings to birth As many loves as flowers are. Youthful hearts, beware! beware! Soon as it renews the earth, Cold it scatters everywhere. But its pleasures, sweet and rare, Oft cost more than they be worth. Youthful hearts, beware! beware! Pleasant springtide brings to birth As many loves as flowers are. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON THE PROPOSAL TO ERECT A MONUMENT IN ENGLAND TO LORD BYRON by EMMA LAZARUS THE GARDEN YEAR by SARA COLERIDGE ODE TO FEAR by WILLIAM COLLINS (1721-1759) LULLABY by CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON PIED BEAUTY by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS SATIRE: 4 by AULUS PERSIUS FLACCUS FATHER GOOSE by LYMAN FRANK BAUM A DIALOGUE (FOR A BASE AND TWO TREBLES) by JOSEPH BEAUMONT |
