SLOW SPRING by KATHARINE TYNAN

Poem Explanation

First Line: O YEAR, GROW SLOWLY, EXQUISITE, HOLY
Last Line: LIKE A LAMB OR A CHILD.
Subject(s): TIME;

O year, grow slowly. Exquisite, holy,

The days go on

With almonds showing the pink stars blowing

And birds in the dawn.

Grow slowly, year, like a child that is dear,

Or a lamb that is mild,

By little steps, and by little skips,

Like a lamb or a child.
