THE MEADOW LARK, by J. A. WILLIAMS First Line: Chirping songster, sprightly fellow Last Line: To the inmost heart of me! Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Spring | ||||||||
Chirping songster, sprightly fellow, Dressed in vesture tan and yellow, From the southland meadows fair, Sweeter than the breath of flowers His presence fills the northland bowers Making glad the balmy air. Winging, singing o'er the prairie, Melodies entrancing airy, Psalms unto his lord, the Sun; Chanting, chanting never weary To his mate love songs so cheery From dawn until the day is done. Spring's gay herald, bird of gladness, Scattering joy in loving madness Over mead and verdant lea May each note bring comfort, pleasure, Ever increasing without measure To the inmost heart of me! | 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 |
