THE COMING OF SPRING: MADRID, by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Spring is come back, and the little voices are calling Last Line: I know not, but I have forgotten the meaning of spring. Subject(s): Madrid, Spain; Spring | ||||||||
Spring is come back, and the little voices are calling, The birds are calling, the little green buds on the trees, A song in the street, and an old and sleepy tune; All the sounds of the spring are falling, falling, Gentle as rain, on my heart, and I hear all these As a sick man hears men talk from the heart of a swoon. The clamours of spring are the same old delicate noises, The earth renews its magical youth at a breath, And the whole world whispers a well-known, secret thing; And I hear, but the meaning has faded out of the voices; Something has died in my heart: is it death or sleep? I know not, but I have forgotten the meaning of spring. | 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 NERVES by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS |
