Come along, you Spring! Come along, you flow'rs! -- I've just been settin' right here for hours, I've just been waitin' for days and weeks Till a bud comes up and a robin speaks. I have put my chair in the warmest spot When the sun was out (or the sun was not) And I've watched for Spring while the long hours pass -- Come along, you Spring! Come along, you grass! I have set and longed for the days of Spring, For the buds and birds and for everything; I have set and hoped for a robin's call And the first green leaf on the viney wall. Come along, you Spring, with the joys you've got! I will set right here till you're on the spot. Then I'll tilt my chair by the shanty door -- When you @3git@1 here, Spring -- and I'll set some more! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON A YOUNG LADY'S SIXTH ANNIVERSARY by KATHERINE MANSFIELD HOW THE GREAT GUEST CAME by EDWIN MARKHAM THE PICTURE (VENUS RECLINING) by EZRA POUND THE WHITE LIGHTS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ILLINOIS FARMER by CARL SANDBURG |
