WISDOM BORN OF SPRING, by                    
First Line: The golden throated frog turning liquidity ...
Last Line: As he plunges underneath the darkly shining surface of a pool.
Subject(s): Animals; Frogs; Spring


The golden throated frog turning liquidity to song
Throbs forth in ecstasy, "From death comes life."
He had foreborne by day (trembling the while)
Till wood and mist and evening hour conjoined
To give flood-tide to his empyreal sight --
Then warningly he tells the listening few
That life is also death, gulping the hemlock
As he plunges underneath the darkly shining surface of a pool.
