Love is the very heart of spring; Flocks fall to loving on the lea And wildfowl love upon the wing, When spring first enters like a sea. When spring first enters like a sea Into the heart of everything, Bestir yourselves religiously, Incense before love's altar bring. Incense before love's altar bring, Flowers from the flowering hawthorn tree, Flowers from the margin of the spring, For all the flowers are sweet to see. Love is the very heart of spring; When spring first enters like a sea Incense before love's altar bring, And flowers while flowers are sweet to see. Bring flowers while flowers are sweet to see; Love is almighty, love's a King, Incense before love's altar bring, Incense before love's altar bring. Love's gifts are generous and free When spring first enters like a sea; When spring first enters like a sea, The birds are all inspired to sing. Love is the very heart of spring, The birds are all inspired to sing, Love's gifts are generous and free; Love is almighty, love's a King. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CRY GOING OUT OVER PASTURES by ROBERT BLY AND KNEELING AT THE EDGE OF THE TRANSPARENT SEA I SHALL SHAPE FOR ... by ANNE CARSON THE GLASS ESSAY by ANNE CARSON AMONG MY FRIENDS LOVE IS A GREAT SORROW by ROBERT DUNCAN CHOSEN BY THE LION by LINDA GREGG THE SMALL THING LOVE IS by LINDA GREGG ADVISING MYSELF by PHILIP LEVINE A GOOD PLAY by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON |
