SONG, by ALICE DUER MILLER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The light of spring Last Line: When both forget? | |||
THE light of spring On the emerald earth, A man, a maid, And a mood of mirth, A foolish jest, That a smile amends -- It took no more To make us friends. An evening breeze, The year in bloom, Lips quickly met In the garden's gloom; The trees about us, The stars above -- It took no more To teach us love. Frost in the air -- The air like wine -- Go you your way, And I'll go mine. Lightly we part Who lightly met -- What more is needed, When both forget? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IF THEY MEANT ALL THEY SAID by ALICE DUER MILLER MY LOVE'S GUARDIAN ANGEL by WILLIAM BARNES ONE WAY OF LOVE by ROBERT BROWNING TO COLE, THE PAINTER, DEPARTING FOR EUROPE by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT FIVE KERNELS OF CORN [APRIL, 1622] by HEZEKIAH BUTTERWORTH RELIGION by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR WHISPERS OF HEAVENLY DEATH by WALT WHITMAN IN A GARRET by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN |
