"Spring" by Christina Rossetti
Christina Rossetti's poems about nature often evoke the beauty of seasons. This one captures the vibrant, renewing energy of spring.
Spring
There is no time like Spring, when life’s alive in everything,
Before new nestlings sing, before the early bees have flown.
The trees are in bud, and the sun is bright,
A world of sweet scents and colors so light.
"A Spring Morning" by William Blake
This poem reflects on the joys of spring’s first morning and its symbolic meanings.
A Spring Morning
The skylark sings, and the flowers rise
From the gentle morning breeze,
Nature awakens and glows with delight,
Bringing harmony to the trees.
"To Spring" by James Thomson
James Thomson wrote beautifully about the seasons, and this poem expresses the rejuvenation that spring brings to the earth.
To Spring
Come, gentle Spring! ethereal Mildness, come!
And from the bosom of yon drop serene,
The dewy freshness of the early morn,
And fill the air with fragrance, soft and free.
Let the woods burst with life, and the flowers be seen!
"Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost
This classic poem by Robert Frost, while not explicitly about spring, reflects on the fleeting nature of the beauty that accompanies seasons like spring.
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
