I BURIED my heart so deep, so deep, Under a secret hill of pain, And said, "O broken pitiful thing, Even the magic spring Shall ne'er awake thee to life again, Tho' March woods glimmer with opal rain And passionate koels sing." The kimshuks burst into dazzling flower, The seemuls burgeoned in crimson pride, The palm-groves shone with the oriole's wing, The koels began to sing, And soft clouds broke in a twinkling tide ... My heart leapt up in its grave and cried, "Is it the spring, the spring?" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SURVIVOR AMONG GRAVES by RANDALL JARRELL SUBJECTED EARTH by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE GRAVE OF MRS.
