THE LOVER-IN APRIL, by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE Poet's Biography First Line: Thou hast come back to me! Last Line: In the dear hyacinth and white anemone! Subject(s): April; Spring | ||||||||
THOU hast come back to me! (Thou who didst die a year ago, And slept so many days beneath the snow) Thou hast come back to me! Now that the buds break on the hawthorn-tree, And the old gladness of the earth revives, Thou hast come back to me In the dear hyacinth and white anemone. The Spring's great resurrection is thine own! This fragrance of young blossoms is thy breath; This silence is thy spiritual tread -- Thou art no longer dead! Who is it, dear, that saith Thy body is in the bondage of strong Death? Nay, from the darkness, on the light winds blown, Thou hast come back to me In the dear hyacinth and white anemone! | 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 |
