TO THE MAKERS OF SONG!, by HERMANN HAGEDORN Poet's Biography First Line: Surely the time for making songs has come Last Line: Surely the time for making songs has come! Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
Surely the time for making songs has come Now that the Spring is in the air again! Trees blossom though men bleed; and after rain The robins hop; and soon the bees will hum. Long was the winter, long our lips were dumb, Long under snow our loyal dreams have lain. Surely the time for making songs has come Now that the Spring is in the air again! The Spring! -- with bugles and a rumbling drum! Oh, builders of high music out of pain, Now is the hour with singing to make vain The boast of kings in Pandemonium! Surely the time for making songs has come! | 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 MOTHER IN THE HOUSE by HERMANN HAGEDORN |
