GOLD, by ISABEL ECCLESTONE MACKAY Poet's Biography First Line: When life wakened in the spring Last Line: To brown pavements in the town. Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
WHEN life wakened in the Spring All the world was gold and green! Sunlight lay on everything, Sailing cloud and soaring wing, Emerald banks where snow had been, Drifts of daffodils between. When Life's pulse beat strong and high Shone the world in gold and blue! Canopied with turquoise sky Summer passed superbly by, Bluest midnight cupped the dew Golden morn might sparkle through! Now that life would rest again Soft she lies in gold and brown, Brown the fields and gold the grain, Brown the little pools of rain, Gold the leaves that falter down To brown pavements in the town. | 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 A CHRISTMAS CHILD by ISABEL ECCLESTONE MACKAY |
