A SONG WITH A DISCORD, by ARTHUR WILLIS COLTON First Line: Though winter come with dripping skies Last Line: For anything they'll buy. | |||
THOUGH Winter come with dripping skies, And laden winds and strong, Yet I'll read summer in her eyes Whose voice is summer's song. Who grieves because the world is old, Or cares how long it last, If no gray threads are in our gold, The shade our marbles cast, How, creeping near, we may not see? Time's heirs are Love and I, And spend our minted days -- Ah, me! For anything they'll buy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HARPS HUNG UP IN BABYLON by ARTHUR WILLIS COLTON TO FAUSTINE by ARTHUR WILLIS COLTON DAWN BEHIND NIGHT by ISAAC ROSENBERG TEARS IN SLEEP by LOUISE BOGAN THE CITY OF GOD by SAMUEL JOHNSON (1822-1882) THE LOVE OF GOD by ELIZA SCUDDER TO WISDOM by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LOVE AND COQUETRY by LEVI BISHOP SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 59 by BLISS CARMAN AN EVENING GUEST by DINAH MARIA MULOCK CRAIK |
