SPRING SONG, by HERMANN HESSE Poet's Biography First Line: The storm cries every night Last Line: Forever goes thy way. Subject(s): Love; Old Age; Spring | ||||||||
THE storm cries every night, Its great, moist wing falters and sweeps, In dreamy flight the plover falls; Now nothing sleeps And through the land stirs new delight, For the Spring calls. Oh in these nights I cannot sleep Youth stirs my heart! From the blue wells of memory start The ardent glories of that dawn And look at me with eyes so deep, And tremble, and are gone. Be still, my heart, give o'er! Though in the heavy blood holds sway The passionate sweet pain And lead thee the old paths again Unto youth's land no more Forever goes thy way. | 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 |
