WHAT did Spring-time whisper? @3O ye rivulets, Waking from your trance so sad, Pleased to welcome fisher-lad With his little nets, Speed, for summer's in the air, Prattle, for the breeze is warm, Chatter by the otter's lair, Bubble past the ivied farm; Wake the primrose on the banks, Bid the violet ope her eyes, Hurry in a flood of thanks Underneath serener skies! What a revel's coming soon— Fairies trooping o'er the leas, Making magic by the moon, Crowned with wood anemones! What a haunted heart the thrush Nurses in the blackthorn bush, Full of splendid songs to sing, Cheery welcomes of the Spring— Spring has come!@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TREE OF SONG by SARA TEASDALE A BOOK OF AIRS SONG 18 by THOMAS CAMPION IN THE MOONLIGHT by THOMAS HARDY BY THE PACIFIC OCEAN by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER ON SEEING BLENHEIM CASTLE by LUCY AIKEN |
