APRIL MORNING, by GEORGE ELLISTON First Line: I would spend a morning Last Line: But how shall I begin? Subject(s): April; Nature | ||||||||
I would spend a morning With an April apple tree, Speaking to it softly And laughing out in glee. All the summer sunshine And all the winter moon Are shining in the blossoms That will be gone so soon. I will spend a morning With a friendly apple tree, Hearing many secrets That it will tell to me. I will take a morning To drink the beauty in; I will take a morning -- But how shall I begin? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
