RETURN OF SPRING, by SSU-K'UNG T'U Poet's Biography First Line: A lovely maiden, roaming Last Line: That was old and is young again. Alternate Author Name(s): Piao-sheng Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
A lovely maiden, roaming The wild dark valley through, Culls from the shining waters Lilies and lotus blue. With leaves the peach-trees are laden, The wind sighs through the haze, And the willows wave their shadows Down the oriole-haunted ways. As, passion-tranced, I follow, I hear the old refrain Of Spring's eternal story, That was old and is young again. | 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 THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD A POST-IMPRESSIONIST SUSURRATION FOR THE FIRST OF NOVEMBER by HAYDEN CARRUTH |
