AIR, by ANTOINETTE DU LIGIER DE LA GARDE DESHOULIERES Poem Explanation First Line: Pleasant springtide brings to birth Last Line: As many loves as flowers are. | |||
PLEASANT springtide brings to birth As many loves as flowers are. Youthful hearts, beware! beware! Soon as it renews the earth, Cold it scatters everywhere. But its pleasures, sweet and rare, Oft cost more than they be worth. Youthful hearts, beware! beware! Pleasant springtide brings to birth As many loves as flowers are. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONG OF MARION'S MEN by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT THE COCK AND THE BULL by CHARLES STUART CALVERLEY IN THE SHADOWS: MY EPITAPH by DAVID GRAY (1838-1861) PEGGY, FR.
