A LEAFLESS TREE, by ANNA LOUISE THOMPSON First Line: I like to see Last Line: And new springs start. Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
I like to see The patience of a leafless tree Waiting in quiet dignity, Till spring shall set its greenness free. I sometimes think That living just beneath the sky Has made it understand and drink Deeper wisdom than you and I It does not prate Of limitation in its sere Bare boughs; it does not estimate The time for fresh leaves to appear; It seems to know, Within its great deep-rooted heart, That never-ending life shall flow And new springs start. | 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 THE DESERTED HOUSE by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE ALMANZOR & ALMAHIDE, OR THE CONQUEST OF GRANADA: PART 2.
