MAY NIGHT by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE SPRING IS FRESH AND FEARLESS
Last Line: AND OVER-BRIMMED WITH SPRING.
Subject(s): SPRING;

THE spring is fresh and fearless
And every leaf is new,
The world is brimmed with moonlight,
The lilac brimmed with dew.

Here in the moving shadows
I catch my breath and sing--
My heart is fresh and fearless
And over-brimmed with spring.
