SPRING, by HANNES HAFSTEIN First Line: The woods have wakened, birch and oak are gay Last Line: And flowers abound. Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
THE woods have wakened, birch and oak are gay, The warbling birds have sought the bowers. And zephyrs fondle tenderly in play The leaves and flowers. I would that I could move thee, forest fair, To mountainside and dale and lea. I'd clothe those homeland places bleak and bare But dear to me. I would I were an ocean current grand And warm as beats my pulse in spring. I'd circle round thy shores, dear fatherland, And blessings bring. O, could I, like a balmy wind convey The breath of spring from fell to sound. All snows should then forever melt away And flowers abound. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND A SPRING SONG by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN SPRING'S RETURN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SPRING IN WINTER by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES SPRING ON THE PRAIRIE by HERBERT BATES THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD NEARING COLD-DALE by HANNES HAFSTEIN |
