SPRING, by THEOPHILE JULIUS HENRY MARZIALS First Line: I stand as on the verge of life; 'tis spring Last Line: My full heart fails when it should be most strong. Alternate Author Name(s): Marzials, Theo; Marzials, Theophile Jules Henri Subject(s): Hearts; Life; Spring | ||||||||
I stand as on the verge of life; 'tis Spring, When springs are welling ere they brim away; When waking birds just cheep and shake their wing, And clouds come winding in the virgin day. I look through fruit-boughs fresh with sprout and spray, Down loam-hills loosed by shoots where thick dews cling, From out the deep sky night yet dreams away, Down lush marsh woods and waters wandering. I stand between the past and the pursuing, Between the dream'd of deed and the undone, With all the earth on tiptoe for the doing, And breathless for the start-word of the sun; And dreaming drifts away and big with song My full heart fails when it should be most strong. | 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 COURT-MINSTREL by THEOPHILE JULIUS HENRY MARZIALS |
