THE WIND IN THE TREES; CHESTNUT IN APRIL, by KATHARINE TYNAN Poet's Biography First Line: The chestnut is a candlestick Last Line: Make christmas trees for spring. Alternate Author Name(s): Hinkson, Katharine Tynan Subject(s): Chestnut Trees; Spring | |||
THE chestnut is a candlestick Of arching clusters, rosy and thick, And branches branching wide and high Toward the smiling sky. Closed are the sweet-lip buds that hide A flame of mother-o'-pearl inside. Open, open, O rosy mouth! The wind is from the south. O wind, from Spring's own country blow, Till all the candles lit a-row, And all the candles lit a-ring, Make Christmas trees for 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 |
