VIOLIN SONGS: SPRING SONG by GEORGE MACDONALD

Poet Analysis

First Line: DAYS OF OLD, / YE ARE NOT DEAD, THOUGH GONE FROM ME
Last Line: THE DAYS OF OLD COME BACK TO ME
Subject(s): SPRING; SUN;

DAYS of old,
Ye are not dead, though gone from me;
Ye are not cold,
But like the summer-birds fled o'er some sea
The sun brings back the swallows fast
O'er the sea;
When he cometh at the last,
The days of old come back to me
