THE TYROLESE SPRING SONG, by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL Poet's Biography First Line: The meadows rejoice in their verdure so bright Last Line: The world in its beauty and gladness to know. Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
THE meadows rejoice in their verdure so bright, And glisten with pearl drops of dew, The glaciers are gleaming in radiant light, The breezes are fitful and few. From heaven coming down, like a golden-haired child, Fair Spring o'er the earth has sparklingly smiled, With flower-twined staff, he goes forth o'er the wild. The song of the birds and the herdsman's glad lay Are heard in the morning so bright; They sing when the bells, at the closing of day, Awaken the stars of the night. The swell of the joyous and heart-stirring song Through mountain and valley is pealing along, In a tide of rejoicing, all glorious and strong. Then a fount of emotion awakes in the heart, And the spirit is mightily stirred, The Tyrolese longs from his roof to depart To wander and roam as he will; When the meadows rejoice in their emerald glow, The sons of the mountain forth joyously go, The world in its beauty and gladness to know. | 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 CONSECRATION HYMN by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL I DID THIS FOR THEE!
