SONG OF THE LITTLE WINDS, by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS Poet's Biography First Line: The birdies may sleep, but the winds must wake Last Line: He thinks his mother's own song to hear. Alternate Author Name(s): Richards, Laura E. | |||
The birdies may sleep, but the winds must wake Early and late, for the birdies' sake. Kissing them, fanning them, soft and sweet, E'en till the dark and the dawning meet. The flowers may sleep, but the winds must wake Early and late, for the flowers' sake. Rocking the buds on the rose-mother's breast, Swinging the hyacinth-bells to rest. The children may sleep, but the winds must wake Early and late, for the children's sake. Singing so sweet in each little one's ear, He thinks his mother's own song to hear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ANTONIO by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS MOLLY PITCHER [JUNE 28, 1778] by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS A SONG OF TWO ANGELS by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS AT EASTER TIME by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS JOHNNY'S BY-LOW SONG by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS SANDY HOOK by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS THE MANOR LORD by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS WHERE HELEN SITS by LAURA ELIZABETH HOWE RICHARDS CHAMBER MUSIC: 23 by JAMES JOYCE |
