SPRING LAUGHS, by KATIE F. NICHOLS First Line: Trim little towns in waiting Last Line: The little breezes sing. Subject(s): Laughter; Spring; Towns; Weather | ||||||||
Trim little towns in waiting, The winter's coming by. And buried half beneath the drifts Your shrouded streets will lie. Crowding armies from the sky, With weapons made of sleet, Winding robes of frost and snow Will wrap around your feet. But clouds of fragrant blossoms Will follow where they tread, And fat and jolly robins Will flit along ahead. Icy veils of white moonbeams That glisten on the snow, Changed will be to opal lights On little brooks that flow. For every winter born, There waits somewhere a spring; Mocking at the howling blasts, The little breezes sing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD HOW TO FORETELL A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER by TED KOOSER LEAVING BUFFALO by CHARLES MARTIN WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES TO WARM, THE BOYS DRIVE SHIRTLESS by MARY JO BANG THE LIFE OF TOWNS: ONE-MAN TOWN by ANNE CARSON POWER FAILURE by MADELINE DEFREES THE CITY OF THE OLESHA FRUIT by NORMAN DUBIE FRAGMENTS WRITTEN WHILE TRAVELING...A MIDWESTERN HEAT WAVE by JAMES GALVIN |
