LOVE IN SPRING, by MELEAGER Poet's Biography First Line: Now the violet blooms again Last Line: Far more excellent is she. Alternate Author Name(s): Meleagros Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
NOW the violet blooms again; Blooms the lover of the rain, The jonquil; blooms on every hill the upland-roaming daffodil. And now the favourite flower of Love, Flower of spring, all flowers above, In bloom perfected sweetly blows -- Zenophile, persuasion's rose. Meadows of your tresses fain, You brightly laugh, but laugh in vain; How sweet soe'er your posies be, Far more excellent is she. | 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 |
