SONG, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: All suddenly the wind comes soft
Last Line: And my heart puts forth its pain.
Subject(s): Love; Soldiers' Writings


All suddenly the wind comes soft,
And Spring is here again;
And the hawthorn quickens with buds of green,
And my heart with buds of pain.

My heart all Winter lay so numb,
The earth so dead and frore,
That I never thought the Spring would come,
Or my heart wake any more.

But Winter's broken and earth has woken,
And the small birds cry again;
And the hawthorn hedge puts forth its buds,
And my heart puts forth its pain.
