Light lingers long as Winter wears to Spring, And O my heart can hear those choirs sing, That break the brief spell of a Summer's night And herald days that swoon at noon of light. Now, though around my door cold March winds throng, Light lingers long. I wake and laugh to see the yellow sun An hour when winter nights had long to run: And when I see where once I played the mole, As hours of insight lengthen in my soul, I will not chide a world of pain and wrong, -- Light lingers long. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAST WORD by MATTHEW ARNOLD HOW IT STRIKES A CONTEMPORARY by ROBERT BROWNING HYMN FOR EPIPHANY by REGINALD HEBER A PSALM OF LIFE by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW HIS HEART, INTO A BIRD by PHILIP AYRES |
