WINNIPESAUKEE, by EDMUND PALMER CLARKE First Line: Now nature with a lavish hand Last Line: And herons stalk our island's shore. Subject(s): Birds; Islands; Nature; Spring | ||||||||
Now Nature with a lavish hand Has reddened maple, browned the oak; And through the conifers a strand Of upward curling white birch smoke Beseeches us go home, the while From shore to shore of this vast lake, Snow and the cold erase the smile Of the Great Spirit. In their wake Spring shall return to find the scene We left in red and gold quite bare, And with her spendthrift brush, in green She'll leave us word of being there. And loons will shriek, and eagles soar, And herons stalk our island's shore. | 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 NOVEMBER by EDMUND PALMER CLARKE |
