LONGING FOR SPRING, by WALTHER VON DER VOGELWEIDE Poet's Biography First Line: Alas, the winter has hurt us everywhere Last Line: Where the frost lies now, I'll pluck a nosegay. Subject(s): Spring | |||
Alas, the winter has hurt us everywhere. The forest and the heath are both so bare, Where many a sweet voice resounded through the air. Ah, if on the street I saw the maidens fair Play ball, the songs of birds would be there. I should like to sleep through winter's delay. Jealous I grow when awake I stay, Because the winter has such a mighty sway. God knows at last he yields unto May, Where the frost lies now, I'll pluck a nosegay. | 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 SONG by WALTHER VON DER VOGELWEIDE |
