APRIL AGAIN, by ISABEL NEILL Poet's Biography First Line: The snows that whitened avalon Last Line: Lest april break my frozen heart. Subject(s): April; Arthurian Legend; Arthur, King | ||||||||
The snows that whitened Avalon Are lost within the rushing spring; Along the dusky forest aisles The phantom linnets soar and sing. Pale Arthur, all his wounds forgot, Must dream alone a little while Of shadowy spires of Camelot, Of Guinevere's slow smile. But I, who have no Avalon, No place of healing set apart, Walk very softly through the spring Lest April break my frozen heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LANCELOT by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON MERLIN by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON GALAHAD IN THE CASTLE OF THE MAIDENS by SARA TEASDALE ELAINE by EDNA ST.
