IN SPRING, by AVA F. COLLINGWOOD First Line: The time in school is twice as long Last Line: On every single sunny day? Subject(s): Birds; Singing & Singers; Spring; Songs | |||
THE time in school is twice as long Because I hear that bluebird's song. He sits right out there on a tree, And doesn't have to work, like me. He's better dressed than I am, too. His clean new suit is shiny blue, The big tie in the front is red. There's nothing on his feet, or head! I wish I felt as good as he, Singing and swinging on a tree! I should, if I were climbing there With that wind blowing through my hair! Why can't grown people do the sums And write big words that cramp our thumbs And let us go out-doors and play On every single sunny day? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY HOLES BORED IN A WORKBAG BY THE SCISSORS by MARIANNE MOORE VLAMERTINGHE: PASSING THE CHATEAU, JULY 1917 by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
