FINAL SPRING, by RALPH GUSTAFSON Poet's Biography
First Line: Of grass, insurgent bud aware
Last Line: This, and the threat of fear, and fear.
Subject(s): Fear; Nature; Spring
First Line: Of grass, insurgent bud aware
Last Line: This, and the threat of fear, and fear.
Subject(s): Fear; Nature; Spring
Of grass, insurgent bud aware,
We in the loop of sudden spring,
Trammelled by tangled green and song
Nostalgic on the ear,
Thrown by the lariat of sun
Are branded with initialled fear.
Between the brazen daffodil
Sprawling headlines through the park
Between the question on the wind,
On lintels of the hill,
And storage in the hollow tree
Joy adds a hasty codicil.
For we are the muscled living, therefore
Make a hasty signature,
Dispossess the urgent root
Certify the heir:
Fear, in the framework of the wind,
This, and the threat of fear, and fear.
