The distance takes a lovelier hue;
And drowned in yonder living blue
The lark becomes a sightless song。
Now dance the lights on lawn and lea;
The flocks are whiter down the vale;
And milkier every milky sail;
On winding stream or distant sea;
Where now the seamew pipes; or dives
In yonder greening gleam; and fly
The happy birds; that change their sky
To build and brood; that live their lives
From land to land; and in my breast
Spring wakens too: and my regret
Become an April violet;
And buds and blossoms like the rest。
Alfred Tennyson '1809…1892'
〃THE SPRING RETURNS〃
The Spring returns! What matters then that War
On the horizon like a beacon burns;
That Death ascends; man's most desired star;
That Darkness is his hope? The Spring returns!
Triumphant through the wider…arched cope
She comes; she comes; unto her tyranny;
And at her coronation are set ope
The prisons of the mind; and man is free!
The beggar…garbed or over…bent with snows;
Each mortal; long defeated; disallowed;
Feeling her touch; grows stronger limbed; and knows
The purple on his shoulders and is proud。
The Spring returns! O madness beyond sense;
Breed in our bones thine own omnipotence!
Charles Leonard Moore '1854…
〃WHEN THE HOUNDS OF SPRING〃
Chorus from 〃Atalanta in Calydon〃
When the hounds of spring are on winter's traces;
The mother of months in meadow or plain
Fills the shadows and windy places
With lisp of leaves and ripple of rain;
And the brown bright nightingale amorous
Is half assuaged for Itylus;
For the Thracian ships and the foreign faces;
The tongueless vigil; and all the pain。
Come with bows bent and with emptying of quivers;
Maiden most perfect; lady of light;
With a noise of winds and many rivers;
With a clamor of waters; and with might;
Bind on thy sandals; O thou most fleet;
Over the splendor and speed of thy feet;
For the faint east quickens; the wan west shivers;
Round the feet of the day and the feet of the night。
Where shall we find her; how shall we sing to her;
Fold our hands round her knees; and cling?
O that man's heart were as fire and could spring to her;
Fire; or the strength of the streams that spring!
For the stars and the winds are unto her
As raiment; as songs of the harp…player;
For the risen stars and the fallen cling to her;
And the southwest…wind and the west…wind sing。
For winter's rains and ruins are over;
And all the season of snows and sins;
The days dividing lover and lover;
The light that loses; the night that wins;
And time remembered; is grief forgotten;
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten;
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins。
The full streams feed on flower of rushes;
Ripe grasses trammel a travelling foot;
The faint fresh flame of the young year flushes
From leaf to flower and flower to fruit;
And fruit and leaf are as gold and fire;
And the oat is heard above the lyre;
And the hoofed heel of a satyr crushes
The chestnut…husk at the chestnut…root。
And Pan by noon and Bacchus by night;
Fleeter of foot than the fleet…foot kid;
Follows with dancing and fills with delight
The Maenad and the Bassarid;
And soft as lips that laugh and hide
The laughing leaves of the trees divide;
And screen from seeing and leave in sight
The god pursuing; the maiden hid。
The ivy falls with the Bacchanal's hair
Over her eyebrows hiding her eyes;
The wild vine slipping down leaves bare
Her bright breast shortening into sighs;
The wild vine slips with the weight of its leaves;
But the berried ivy catches and cleaves
To the limbs that glitter; the feet that scare
The wolf that follows; the fawn that flies。
Algernon Charles Swinburne '1837…1909'
SONG
Again rejoicing Nature sees
Her robe assume its vernal hues;
Her leafy locks wave in the breeze;
All freshly steeped in morning dews。
In vain to me the cowslips blaw;
In vain to me the violets spring;
In vain to me in glen or shaw;
The mavis and the lintwhite sing。
The merry ploughboy cheers his team;
Wi' joy the tentie seedsman stalks;
But life to me's a weary dream;
A dream of ane that never wauks。
The wanton coot the water skims;
Amang the reeds the ducklings cry;
The stately swan majestic swims;
And everything is blest but I。
The shepherd steeks his faulding slap;
And owre the moorland whistles shrill;
Wi' wild; unequal; wand'ring step
I meet him on the dewy hill。
And when the lark; 'tween light and dark;
Blithe waukens by the daisy's side;
And mounts and sings on flittering wings;
A woe…worn ghaist I hameward glide。
Come; Winter; with thine angry howl;
And raging bend the naked tree;
Thy gloom will soothe my cheerless soul;
When Nature all is sad like me!
Robert Burns '1759…1796'
TO SPRING
O thou with dewy locks; who lookest down
Through the clear windows of the morning; turn
Thine angel eyes upon our western isle;
Which in full choir hails thy approach; O Spring!
The hills tell one another; and the listening
Valleys hear; all our longing eyes are turned
Up to thy bright pavilions: issue forth
And let thy holy feet visit our clime!
Come o'er the eastern hills; and let our winds
Kiss thy perfumed garments; let us taste
Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls
Upon our lovesick land that mourns for thee。
O deck her forth with thy fair fingers; pour
Thy soft kisses on her bosom; and put
Thy golden crown upon her languished head;
Whose modest tresses are bound up for thee!
William Blake '1757…1827'
AN ODE ON THE SPRING
Lo! where the rosy…bosomed Hours;
Fair Venus' train; appear;
Disclose the long…expecting flowers;
And wake the purple year!
The Attic warbler pours her throat
Responsive to the cuckoo's note;
The untaught harmony of spring:
While; whispering pleasure as they fly;
Cool Zephyrs through the clear blue sky
Their gathered fragrance fling。
Where'er the oak's thick branches stretch
A broader browner shade;
Where'er the rude and moss…grown beech
O'er…canopies the glade;
Beside some water's rushy brink
With me the Muse shall sit; and think
(At ease reclined in rustic state)
How vain the ardor of the crowd;
How low; how little are the proud;
How indigent the great!
Still is the toiling hand of Care:
The panting herds repose:
Yet; hark; how through the peopled air
The busy murmur glows!
The insect…youth are on the wing;
Eager to taste the honied spring
And float amid the liquid noon;
Some lightly o'er the current skim;
Some show their gaily…gilded trim
Quick…glancing to the sun。
To Contemplation's sober eye
Such is the race of Man:
And they that creep; and they that fly;
Shall end where they began。
Alike the Busy and the Gay
But flutter through life's little day;
In Fortune's varying colors dressed:
Brushed by the hand of rough Mischance;
Or chilled by Age; their airy dance
They leave; in dust to rest。
Methinks I hear; in accents low;
The sportive kind reply:
Poor moralist! and what art thou?
A solitary fly!
Thy joys no glittering female meets;
No hive hast thou of hoarded sweets;
No painted plumage to display;
On hasty wings thy youth is flown;
Thy sun is set; thy spring is gone …
We frolic; while 'tis May。
Thomas Gray '1716…1771'
SPRING
Spring; with that nameless pathos in the air
Which dwells with all things fair;
Spring; with her golden suns and silver rain;
Is with us once again。
Out in the lonely woods the jasmine burns
Its fragrant lamps; and turns
Into a royal court with green festoons
The banks of dark lagoons。
In the deep heart of every forest tree
The blood is all aglee;
And there's a look about the leafless bowers
As if they dreamed of flowers。
Yet still on every side we trace the hand
Of Winter in the land;
Save where the maple reddens on the lawn;
Flushed by the season's dawn;
Or where; like those strange semblances we find
That age to childhood bind;
The elm puts on; as if in Nature's scorn;
The brown of Autumn corn。
As yet the turf is dark; although you know
That; not a span below;
A thousand germs are groping through the gloom;
And soon will burst their tomb。
Already; here and there; on frailest stems
Appear some azure gems;
Small as might deck; upon a gala day;
The forehead of a fay。
In gardens you may note amid the dearth;
The crocus breaking earth;
And near the snowdrop's tender white and green;
The violet in its screen。
But many gleams and shadows needs must pass
Along the budding grass;
And weeks go by; before the enamored South
Shall kiss the rose's mouth。
Still there's a sense of blossoms yet unborn
In the sweet airs of morn;
One almost looks to see the very street
Grow purple at his feet。
At times a fragrant breeze comes floating by;
And brings; you know not why;
A feeling as when eager crowds await
Before a palace gate
Some wondrous pageant; and you scarce would start;
If from a beech's heart
A blue…eyed Dryad; stepping forth; should say;
〃Behold me! I am May!〃
Henry Timrod '1829…1867'
THE MEADOWS IN SPRING
'Tis a dull sight
To see the year dying;
When winter winds
Set the yellow wood sighing:
Sighing; oh! sighing。
When such a time cometh;
I do retire
Into an old room
Beside a bright fire:
Oh; pile a bright fire!
And there I sit
Reading old things;
Of knights and lorn damsels;
While the wind sings …
Oh; drearily sings!
I never look out
Nor attend to the blast;
For all to be seen
Is the leaves falling fast:
Falling; falling!
But close at the hearth;
Like a cricket; sit I;
Reading of summer
And chiv
