STRANGE SPRING, by CHARLOTTE WISE First Line: I never knew that spring could be like this Last Line: Somewhere beyond my life's parenthesis. Subject(s): Spring | ||||||||
I never knew that Spring could be like this, That losing you could make me fear to see Trees trembling with green life. I only miss Their naked, slim impersonality Of winter days. Yet, Spring has brought again A sky filled with impatient clouds that dare To haunt me with their smell of unborn rain And wild birds in half-mutilated air. All these we used to share; we would intrude On some quiet stream to laugh at frankly nude Brown rocks along the bank... and so found Spring, I never thought that you would take the thing That was our love, or hoard such joys as this Somewhere beyond my life's parenthesis. | 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 |
