Sara Teasdale - Spring In War TimeSara Teasdale - Spring In War Time
Work rating: Medium


I feel the spring far off, far off,     The faint, far scent of bud and leaf -- Oh, how can spring take heart to come     To a world in grief,     Deep grief? The sun turns north, the days grow long,     Later the evening star grows bright -- How can the daylight linger on     For men to fight,     Still fight? The grass is waking in the ground,     Soon it will rise and blow in waves -- How can it have the heart to sway     Over the graves,     New graves? Under the boughs where lovers walked     The apple-blooms will shed their breath -- But what of all the lovers now     Parted by Death,     Grey Death?
