SPRING LANDSCAPE, by ROYALL HENDERSON SNOW First Line: Here sways the willow Last Line: Here where the sun has taken fecund earth to wife! Subject(s): Love - Nature Of; Marriage; Spring; Weddings; Husbands; Wives | ||||||||
HERE sways the willow As the wind drifts by And fields long fallow Lie fertile under this warm sky. The thrust of young things spreads Green through the hollow And on the slopes appear the heads Of grain soft days will mellow. Break out in sudden song, swift bird Above this stillness: Sing out the canticle of new life stirred From winter chillness; Be living voice for silent life Here where the sun has taken fecund earth to wife! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BLESSING FOR A WEDDING by JANE HIRSHFIELD A SUITE FOR MARRIAGE by DAVID IGNATOW ADVICE TO HER SON ON MARRIAGE by MARY BARBER THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD KISSING AGAIN by DORIANNE LAUX A TIME PAST by DENISE LEVERTOV AN OLD OLD STORY by ROYALL HENDERSON SNOW |
