SONNET, by MARTHA SPARROW METTENET First Line: With winged heels spring treads the airy moon Last Line: Nor mar a day dressed out in green and gold! Subject(s): Seasons | ||||||||
With wingèd heels Spring treads the airy morn, A joyous April in her eyes and hair. At her caress the gentle buds are born And cast their fragrance on the sunny air. Each atom vibrates with a newness lush At the fair Springtide, and delecting sound Is wakened by the trilling lark and thrush, While purple grackles skim the freshening ground. Press forward Spring and hasten Summer's hours: Let not the hint of Winter left behind Deflect you from your gracious moods and powers, Exact a promise of warm days and kind. The season's latent showers, bid them hold Nor mar a day dressed out in green and gold! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NO AUTUMN IN MY COUNTRY by MEENA ALEXANDER AFTER TU FU (THEY SAY YOU'RE STAYING IN A MOUNTAIN TEMPLE) by MARVIN BELL HE HAD A GOOD YEAR by MARVIN BELL SO IT'S TODAY by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR CONTRA MORTEM: THE FALL by HAYDEN CARRUTH SONNET (ON HEARING SERGI RACHMANINOFF) by MARTHA SPARROW METTENET |
