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 ROBIN REDBREAST by GEORGE WASHINGTON DOANE WOMAN'S CONSTANCY by JOHN DONNE THE SUPPLIANT by EDMUND WILLIAM GOSSE LONG LIVE LIFE by JACQUES BARON PSALM 96 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE A WOMAN'S SONNETS: 11 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT TO ONE WHO HAD LEFT HER CONVENT TO MARRY by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT |
