SONGS IN SPRING, by MATTHEW KAMM First Line: In spring I sought to live in peace Last Line: Is freed from its prison. Subject(s): Freedom; Liberty | ||||||||
In spring I sought to live in peace And bask in the calm of green depths, And watch, as, with a jeweler's eye The diamond stars on a blue velvet sky, Lighting the fields, where my body lay In wondrous freshness, cooled by the fingers Of the swaying grass; and wrapped in the soil That will claim my dust, when my substance Is freed from its prison. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE THE WILD SWAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS AFTER TENNYSON by AMBROSE BIERCE QUARTET IN F MAJOR by WILLIAM MEREDITH CROSS THAT LINE by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE EMANCIPATION by ELIZABETH ALEXANDER |
