DAYS, by ANNETTE WYNNE First Line: Every sort of day together Last Line: In sunny or in windy weather. Subject(s): Calendars; January; Seasons; Time; Weather | ||||||||
EVERY sort of day together, Makes a year of every weather, Rainy days and clear days, warm days and cool, Holidays, vacation days and days to go to school, Winter days and summer days and days of spring and fall, To make the calendar, my dear, we have to take them all; Here's a pretty day for trying, here's a rainy day for working, But I cannot find a single day in all the year for shirking. There are days when we are very glad, And days when we are still and sad; But on all days, I find it good To do to others as I would Be done bythat's the way To Keep each passing day And so spend happy times together In sunny or in windy weather. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FARMER'S BOY: AUTUMN by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD HOW TO FORETELL A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER by TED KOOSER LEAVING BUFFALO by CHARLES MARTIN WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES TO WARM, THE BOYS DRIVE SHIRTLESS by MARY JO BANG THE LIFE OF TOWNS: ONE-MAN TOWN by ANNE CARSON POWER FAILURE by MADELINE DEFREES THE CITY OF THE OLESHA FRUIT by NORMAN DUBIE FRAGMENTS WRITTEN WHILE TRAVELING...A MIDWESTERN HEAT WAVE by JAMES GALVIN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS by ANNETTE WYNNE |
