Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDAAAAEEFFGG AAHIAAJJAA KKAAAAAALLAAO Spring I know thee Seek for sweet surprise | A |
In the young children's eyes | A |
But I have learnt the years and know the yet | B |
Leaf folded violet | C |
Mine ear awake to silence can foretell | D |
The cuckoo's fitful bell | D |
I wander in a grey time that encloses | A |
June and the wild hedge roses | A |
A year's procession of the flowers doth pass | A |
My feet along the grass | A |
And all you sweet birds silent yet I know | E |
The notes that stir you so | E |
Your songs yet half devised in the dim dear | F |
Beginnings of the year | F |
In these young days you meditate your part | G |
I have it all by heart | G |
- | |
I know the secrets of the seeds of flowers | A |
Hidden and warm with showers | A |
And how in kindling Spring the cuckoo shall | H |
Alter his interval | I |
But not a flower or song I ponder is | A |
My own but memory's | A |
I shall be silent in those days desired | J |
Before a world inspired | J |
O dear brown birds compose your old song phrases | A |
Earth thy familiar daisies | A |
- | |
The poet mused upon the dusky height | K |
Between two stars towards night | K |
His purpose in his heart I watched a space | A |
The meaning of his face | A |
There was the secret fled from earth and skies | A |
Hid in his grey young eyes | A |
My heart and all the Summer wait his choice | A |
And wonder for his voice | A |
Who shall foretell his songs and who aspire | L |
But to divine his lyre | L |
Sweet earth we know thy dimmest mysteries | A |
But he is lord of his | A |
