EPIGRAM ON THE FIRST OF APRIL, by JOHN WINSTANLEY Poet's Biography First Line: Nature is rising from the dead Last Line: Ah! Chloe, when, my charming fair? Subject(s): April Fool's Day; All Fools' Day | ||||||||
Nature is rising from the dead, Frost and Scythian snows are fled; Boreas to his cavern creeps, And, tired with winter-blust'ring, sleeps. Soft zephyrs from the ocean move, The birthplace of the Queen of Love, And o'er the meadows, hills and dales Play with their sweet reviving gales; Chasing all discontent and care, And ev'ry sadness, but despair. Ah! Chloe, when, my charming fair? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MISS BETTY'S SINGING-BIRD by JOHN WINSTANLEY TO THE REVD.
