A RUSSIAN SPRING SONG WITH MINAIEV, by THOMAS WALSH First Line: She softly droops her maiden eyes Last Line: For him, sweet blossomings and death. Alternate Author Name(s): Gill, Roderick; Strange, Garrett Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
She softly droops her maiden eyes Behind the casement ledge at home, And ever and anon she sighs -- 'Ah, if the Spring would only come!' Another on his bed of pain With hope of health and sunshine near, Warms his faint heart with like refrain, -- 'Ah, if the Spring were only here!' And soon the Spring with flower and dove Brings each a portion on its breath: -- For her, sweet blossomings and love; For him, sweet blossomings and death. | 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 A BALLAD OF OLD POPE JOHN by THOMAS WALSH |
