  • I cannot meet the Spring unmoved —

    I cannot meet the Spring unmoved —

    I feel the old desire —

    A Hurry with a lingering, mixed,

    A Warrant to be fair —


    A Competition in my sense

    With something hid in Her —

    And as she vanishes, Remorse

    I saw no more of Her.

  • I have a Bird in spring

    I have a Bird in spring
    Which for myself doth sing -
    The spring decoys.
    ...

  • Spring comes on the World —

    Spring comes on the World —

    I sight the Aprils —

    Hueless to me until thou come

    As, till the Bee

    Blossoms stand negative,

    Touched to Conditions

    By a Hum.

  • Spring is the Period

    Spring is the Period

    Express from God.

    Among the other seasons

    Himself abide,


    But during March and April

    None stir abroad

    Without a cordial interview

    With God.

  • Spring Song—To Ireland

  • The inundation of the Spring

    The inundation of the Spring

    Enlarges every soul —

    It sweeps the tenement away

    But leaves the Water whole —


    In which the soul at first estranged —

    Seeks faintly for its shore

    But acclimated — pines no more

    For that Peninsula —

  • The Notice that is called the Spring

    The Notice that is called the Spring

    Is but a month from here —

    Put up my Heart thy Hoary work

    And take a Rosy Chair.


    Not any House the Flowers keep —

    The Birds enamor Care —

    Our salary the longest Day

    Is nothing but a Bier.
