BURNING LEAVES IN SPRING, by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When withered leaves are lost in flame Last Line: Eternal beauty, back to you! Alternate Author Name(s): Hall, Galway Subject(s): Beauty; Leaves; Spring | ||||||||
WHEN withered leaves are lost in flame Their eddying ghosts, a thin blue haze, Blow through the thickets whence they came On amberlucent autumn days. The cool green woodland heart receives Their dim, dissolving, phantom breath; In young hereditary leaves They see their happy life-in-death. My minutes perish as they glow -- Time burns my crazy bonfire through; But ghosts of blackened hours still blow, Eternal Beauty, back to you! | 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 ANIMAL CRACKERS by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY |
