SPRING'S WOOING, by NELLIE BRISTOW First Line: Spring smiled this morning Last Line: Spring must pass. Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
February Spring smiled this morning Through a windowpane, And away went capering. I chased her in vain Some toll to take, And found yellow jonquils In her wake. March Spring woke me from slumber With a breathy sigh That brushed my cheek As she frisked by. I wondered just What her gift would be -- 'Twas a blustery gust. April Spring kissed my lips today And wept in rapture; While she laughed at her tears I made sure her capture. Upon the warm earth's breast The sparkling drops fell greenly. Spring was gay dressed. May Spring held in warm embrace Offers sweet flowers, Travail of sun and wind And gentle showers. Tender farewell, alas! Summer's hot breath comes, Spring must pass. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND A SPRING SONG by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN SPRING'S RETURN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SPRING IN WINTER by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES SPRING ON THE PRAIRIE by HERBERT BATES THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD THE BATTLE OF CHARLESTON HARBOR by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE |
