Flower god, god of the spring, beautiful, bountiful, Cold-dyed shield in the sky, lover of versicles, Here I wander in April Cold, grey-headed; and still to my Heart, Spring comes with a bound, Spring the deliverer, Spring, song-leader in woods, chorally resonant; Spring, flower-planter in meadows, Child-conductor in willowy Fields deep dotted with bloom, daisies and crocuses: Here that child from his heart drinks of eternity: O child, happy are children! She still smiles on their innocence, She, dear mother in God, fostering violets, Fills earth full of her scents, voices and violins: Thus one cunning in music Wakes old chords in the memory: Thus fair earth in the Spring leads her performances. One more touch of the bow, smell of the virginal Green''"one more, and my bosom Feels new life with an ecstasy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WORLD'S WORTH by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI CASSANDRA by RICHARD BARNFIELD SONNET: 2 by RICHARD BARNFIELD CHRISTMASSE DAY by JOSEPH BEAUMONT A FARM NEAR ZILLEBEKE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN A THOUGHT FOR A LONELY DEATH-BED by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING |
