SPRING IN SOUTHERN PINES, by MARY PARKER COLVIN First Line: The tall pines with their candles Last Line: Of springtime here in southern pines. Subject(s): Pine Trees | |||
The tall pines with their candles Long needles with their sheen, The oaks with quivering tassels And new spring shade of green, The holly with dull blossoms And changing foliage, The dogwood's fairy beauty, Its leaves in early stage, Magnolia's leaves so glossy With flowers in embryo, And, 'neath all these the roses With buds about to blow, The dark green of the cedar Where birds delight to wait, Umbrella tree wide-spreading Whose leaves seem starting late, The willow oak with light green dress Under the sky so blue, The tulip tree with leaf clear-cut, Flower delicate in hue, -- These are so many lovely signs Of springtime here in Southern Pines. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR OUR BETTER GRACES by JAMES GALVIN FIVE TREES by LOUIS UNTERMEYER AERIAL IN THE PINES by RALPH BURNS CHOOSING A MAST by IGNATIUS ROYSTON DUNNACHIE CAMPBELL THE PINES AND THE SEA by CHRISTOPHER PEARSE CRANCH DICKENS IN CAMP by FRANCIS BRET HARTE ASPECTS OF THE PINES by PAUL HAMILTON HAYNE THE SNOWING OF THE PINES' by THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON ULTIMA THULE: MY CATHEDRAL by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW |
