Paul Laurence Dunbar - When Winter Darkening All AroundPaul Laurence Dunbar - When Winter Darkening All Around
Work rating: Low


When winter covering all the ground     Hides every sign of Spring, sir.   However you may look around,     Pray what will then you sing, sir?   The Spring was here last year I know,     And many bards did flute, sir;   I shall not fear a little snow     Forbid me from my lute, sir.   If words grow dull and rhymes grow rare,     I`ll sing of Spring`s farewell, sir.   For every season steals an air,     Which has a Springtime smell, sir.   But if upon the other side,     With passionate longing burning,   Will seek the half unjeweled tide,     And sing of Spring`s returning.
