A LAST WALK TOGETHER, by MARGARET LOUISA WOODS Poet's Biography First Line: From end to end of the skies Last Line: Springtime and love and regret. Alternate Author Name(s): Woods, Mrs. Margaret Louisa Bradley Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Spring | ||||||||
FROM end to end of the skies, Wherever a blossom flow'rs, Wherever a swallow flies, The world is the Spring's and ours. To-day you are mine, my own, Whatever may chance to-morrow; You reign in my heart alone, Without a shadow of sorrow. The Spring will never return. There'll come again and again A fire in the months to burn, A sound of sighs in the rain. But the Spring will be over and done. My soul, there are men who miss The hour that we two shall have won, Who walk in the wood and kiss. We have emptied the cup of the earth, And I break it here at your feet; What else could it hold were worth The savour of hours so sweet? And I never shall envy the dead, The dead who sleep and forget The forest in flower overhead, Springtime and love and regret. | 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 |
