CROSS MY HEART, by EVELYN GRACE FERGUSON First Line: Spring is a young girl, pink and white Last Line: -- and rest awhile with winter, death's envoy. Subject(s): Life; Seasons | ||||||||
Spring is a young girl, pink and white; Summer is a lady, gay with joy; Autumn is a young man, eyes a-light; Winter is a patriarch, Death's envoy. "Hope!" cries our vibrant Spring; "Love," whispers Summer's voice; "Success," Autumn's accents ring; "Peace," Winter's sighing choice. We shall all meet Spring, pink and white; Clasp hands with Summer, gay with joy; Gladly walk with Autumn, eyes a-light; -- And rest awhile with Winter, Death's envoy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NO AUTUMN IN MY COUNTRY by MEENA ALEXANDER AFTER TU FU (THEY SAY YOU'RE STAYING IN A MOUNTAIN TEMPLE) by MARVIN BELL HE HAD A GOOD YEAR by MARVIN BELL SO IT'S TODAY by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR CONTRA MORTEM: THE FALL by HAYDEN CARRUTH MODERN by EVELYN GRACE FERGUSON |
