SPRING RAPTURE, by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE Poet's Biography First Line: Once more the spring's exultant joy Last Line: The green revival of the grass? Subject(s): April; Spring | ||||||||
ONCE more the Spring's exultant joy And flowery dream have come to pass; Once more the birth of hawthorn white, The green revival of the grass. Again the pageant of the leaves, The fragrance of the cherry-boughs; Again the April glamour comes, Again the young Spring's wild carouse! O heart of mine, once more for you The world awakes with bloom and song; Hushed are the voices of old Grief, And vanished is the face of Wrong. The April paean rings again, Spring's flowery dream has come to pass, And who shall weep when Love has given The green revival of the grass? | 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 CITY ROOFS by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE |
