Classic and Contemporary Poetry
APRIL SHOWERS, by JAMES STEPHENS Poet's Biography First Line: The leaves are fresh after the rain Last Line: To be alive on such a day. Subject(s): Rain; Schools; Students | |||
The leaves are fresh after the rain, The air is sweet and clear, The sun is shining warm again, The sparrows hopping in the lane Are brisk and full of cheer. And that is why we dance and play, And that is why we sing, Calling out in voices gay, We will not go to school to-day Nor learn anything! It is a happy thing, I say, To be alive on such a day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
