AT FONTAINBLEAU, by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: It was a day of sun and rain Last Line: Among the woods of fontainebleau. Subject(s): Fontainebleau, France | ||||||||
It was a day of sun and rain, Uncertain as a child's quick moods; And I shall never pass again So blithe a day among the woods. The forest knew you and was glad, And laughed for very joy to know Her child was with her; then, grown sad, She wept, because her child must go. And you would spy and you would capture The shyest flower that lit the grass; The joy I had to watch your rapture Was keen as even your rapture was. The forest knew you and was glad, And laughed and wept for joy and woe. This was the welcome that you had Among the woods of Fontainebleau. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NERVES by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS THE ABSINTHE-DRINKER by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS TO A PORTRAIT by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS A BROTHER OF THE BATTUTI by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS A TUNE by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS A WHITE NIGHT by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS AFTER LOVE by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS AIRS FOR THE LUTE: 1 by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS AIRS FOR THE LUTE: 2 by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS |
