SPRING, by ARTHUR PETERSON Poet's Biography First Line: Already, while the snow is on the ground Last Line: And with the swelling year shall grow and form its life. Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
Already, while the snow is on the ground, All things do tell us of the coming spring; The sun in widening circles treads his round, And yesterday I heard a robin sing From leafless boughs, cold for his daring wing. A softer blue doth fill the morning sky, And south winds often seem to bring the summer nigh. And strong as run the torrents from the hills The new life through our veins doth make its way, And many a thought of high performance fills His mind who long hath waited for his day; To him the voice of Spring doth seem to say -- Now shall thy song rise from the winter's strife, And with the swelling year shall grow and form its life. | 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 A CLOUD FANCY by ARTHUR PETERSON |
