A NEW OLD SONG, by KATHARINE TYNAN Poet's Biography First Line: The spring comes slowly up this way Last Line: The spring comes slowly up this way. Alternate Author Name(s): Hinkson, Katharine Tynan Subject(s): Nature; Singing & Singers; Spring | |||
THE Spring comes slowly up this way, Slowly, slowly! A little nearer every day. The blackbird's trilling shrill and gay His roundelay and virelay, Good lack, as though the March were May! In kirtle all of green and gray; Slowly, slowly, The Spring comes slowly up this way! She hath delicious things to say, But will not answer yea or nay, Nor haste her secrets to display. The Spring comes slowly up this way, Slowly, slowly! To make the world high holiday. The pink is on the orchard spray, The lambs put off their fears and play, Gone are the snows of yesterday. 'Twere well if Spring might always stay! Slowly, slowly, The Spring comes slowly up this way. | 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 |
