IS not the lark companion of the spring? And should not Hope -- that skylark of the heart -- Bear, with her sunny song, Youth company? Still is its sweetest music poured for love; And that is not for me; yet will I love, And hope, though only for her praise and tears; And they will make the laurel's cold bright leaves Sweet as the tender myrtle. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SONNET by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SONNET: 9.
