HERE peace and quiet reign in undisturbed dominion, Tho skies are gray and distant pines stand sadly still. No birdling fills the air with song: on guarded pinion, Or parts the ether in its flight to find the will Of spring. The snows are waiting for the melting rain Or sun, and chill awhile the air which does not stir, And waiting for the better days to come again, When hearts throw off their sorrows in the dulcimer And gentle winds of spring and summer. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A DIM DOORWAY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW; ON HIS BIRTHDAY, 27 FEB. 1867 by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL FOR A DEAD LADY by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON BEAUTY OF NATURE by HENRY ALFORD EPIGRAM by DECIMUS MAGNUS AUSONIUS A SONNET.
