Letter "W" » William Cullen Bryant
"Wild was the day; the wintry sea
Moaned sadly on New England's strand,
When first the thoughtful and the free,
Our fathers, trod the desert land."
Author: William Cullen Bryant
About: December
"Thine eyes are springs in whose serene
And silent waters heaven is seen.
Their lashes are the herbs that look
On their young figures in the brook."
Author: William Cullen Bryant
About: Eyes
"The February sunshine steeps your boughs
And tints the buds and swells the leaves within."
Author: William Cullen Bryant
About: February
"Come when the rains
Have glazed the snow and clothed the trees with ice,
While the slant sun of February pours
Into the bowers a flood of light. Approach!
The incrusted surface shall upbear thy steps
And the broad arching portals of the grove
Welcome thy entering."
Author: William Cullen Bryant
About: February
"Where fall the tears of love the rose appears,
And where the ground is bright with friendship's tears,
Forget-me-not, and violets, heavenly blue,
Spring glittering with the cheerful drops like dew."
Author: William Cullen Bryant
About: Flowers
"The windflower and the violet, they perished long ago,
And the brier-rose and the orchis died amid the summer glow;
But on the hills the golden-rod, and the aster in the wood,
And the yellow sunflower by the brook, in autumn beauty stood,
Till fell the first from the clear cold heaven, as falls the
plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was gone, from upland glade and
glen."
Author: William Cullen Bryant
About: Flowers
"Here the free spirit of mankind, at length,
Throws its last fetters off; and who shall place
A limit to the giant's unchained strength,
Or curb his swiftness in the forward race?"
Author: William Cullen Bryant
About: Freedom
"And the blue gentian-flower, that, in the breeze,
Nods lonely, of her beauteous race the last."
Author: William Cullen Bryant
About: Gentians
"Thou blossom! bright with autumn dew,
And colour's with the heaven's own blue,
That openest when the quiet light
Succeeds the keen and frosty night."
Author: William Cullen Bryant
About: Gentians
"I gazed upon the glorious sky
And the green mountains round,
And thought that when I came to lie
At rest within the ground,
'Twere pleasant, that in flowery June
When brooks send up a cheerful tune,
And groves a joyous sound,
The sexton's hand, my grave to make,
The rich, green mountain-turf should break."
Author: William Cullen Bryant
