SPRING, by MARY TUCKER LAMBERT Poet's Biography First Line: Spring, glad spring, has dawned on earth Last Line: Now sleeping in an unknown grave. Alternate Author Name(s): Tucker, Mary Eliza Perine Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
SPRING, glad Spring, has dawned on earth; Birds rejoice for her bright birth; Farewell now to winter dear -- Spring, with all her joys, is here. Trees clothed in green, our hearts' delight, Rare flowerets bloom, in colors bright; Earth joyful now, her riches yields, While Spring her radiant sceptre wields. Lowing kine with thanks rejoice; Insects hum with drowsy voice; Everything on earth, in air, Join in the chorus, Spring is fair! But now, alas, no transient bloom Can take from each sad heart its gloom; For misery, with might untold, Rests on each heart of mortal mould. We mourn, because war's chilling blast Its arm of death has round us cast; We mourn the noble and the brave, Now sleeping in an unknown grave. | 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 |
