A LIFE, by MARGARET SACKVILLE Poet's Biography First Line: He woke in spring, when april winds blew cold Last Line: His life, which april first had chilledand died. Subject(s): Life | |||
HE woke in Spring, when April winds blew cold And froze through hours of shivering green and gold. So dared not wholly trust, when Summer came, Her radiant days of momentary flame; But found in Autumn peacewhose promises Were better kept. When Winter stripped the trees And blurred the sun, he gladly laid aside His life, which April first had chilledand died. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRIVILEGE OF BEING by ROBERT HASS SEAWATER STIFFENS CLOTH by JANE HIRSHFIELD SAYING YES TO LIVING by DAVID IGNATOW THE WORLD IS SO DIFFICULT TO GIVE UP by DAVID IGNATOW A FANTASY by MARGARET SACKVILLE |
