Alfred Lord Tennyson Spring Poems

Birds' love and birds' song
Flying here and there,
Birds' songand birds' love
And you with gold for hair!
...

Once more the Heavenly Power
Makes all things new,
And domes the red-plowed hills
With loving blue;
...

Now fades the last long streak of snow,
Now burgeons every maze of quick
About the flowering squares, and thick
By ashen roots the violets blow.
...

THE groundflame of the crocus breaks the mould,
Fair Spring slides hither o'er the Southern sea,
Wavers on her thin stem the snowdrop cold
That trembles not to kisses of the bee:
...

Dip down upon the northern shore,
O sweet new-year, delaying long;
Thou doest expectant Nature wrong,
Delaying long, delay no more.
...
