THE MEADOW LARK, by HAMLIN GARLAND Poet's Biography First Line: A brave little bird that fears not god Last Line: And work for the time is a pleasant thing. | |||
A BRAVE little bird that fears not God, A voice that breaks from the snow-wet clod With prophecy of sunny sod, Set thick with wind-waved goldenrod. From the first bare clod in the raw, cold spring, From the last bare clod, when fall winds sting, The farm-boy hears his brave song ring, And work for the time is a pleasant thing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DO YOU FEAR THE WIND? by HAMLIN GARLAND THE GOLD-SEEKERS by HAMLIN GARLAND IN THE GRASS by HAMLIN GARLAND LOGAN AT PEACH TREE CREEK; A VETERAN'S STORY [JULY 20, 1864] by HAMLIN GARLAND O THE FIERCE DELIGHT by HAMLIN GARLAND OF WINDS, SNOWS AND THE STARS by HAMLIN GARLAND PRAIRIE FOLKS: PIONEERS by HAMLIN GARLAND PRAIRIE FOLKS: SETTLERS by HAMLIN GARLAND THE CRY OF THE AGE by HAMLIN GARLAND |
