SWEET Spring, come back with all thy woodland joys, Bring back the murmur to the tree, Wake all the forests with the happy noise Of running waters once more free. Smile the cold snow-clouds from the gladdened sky, Warm the chilled earth with tepid showers, Wake in the copse the cuckoo's chanting cry, Sprinkle the meads with little flowers. Rouse all thy chirping tiny minstrels, ring With silver trebles through the air, Let the tired earth renew in happy spring Her youthful pulses, and be fair. | 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 CIRCE by AUGUSTA DAVIES WEBSTER |
