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
