SNAPSHOT, by DONALD LINDSAY First Line: This, they tell me, is a photograph of you Last Line: Cut down. Subject(s): Photography & Photographers; Spring | ||||||||
This, they tell me, is a photograph of you, Posed before a young tree In a springtime garden, Cradling with unpractised arms A nursling that was I. Now none of us -- Nor you, nor I, nor the tree -- Remembers. For I have lived too many years To recall your arms. Or the garden, Or that sunlit tree. And by another spring You and the tree Were one with a multitude Of springtime things Cut down. | 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 SPOT SIX DIFFERENCES by MARVIN BELL |
