THE TRYST OF SPRING, by JOHN BANISTER TABB Poet's Biography First Line: Stern winter sought the hand of spring Last Line: Before his sight. Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
Stern Winter sought the hand of Spring, And, tempered to her milder mood, Died leafless on the budding breast He fondly wooed. She wept for him her April tears, But, from the shadows wandering soon, Dreamed of a warmer love to come With lordly June. He scatters roses at her feet And sunshine o'er her queenly brow, And through the listening silence breathes A bridal vow. She answers not; but, like a mist O'er-brimmed and tremulous with light, In sudden tears she vanishes Before his sight. | 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 ANONYMOUS by JOHN BANISTER TABB |
