O thou breeze of spring! <br />Gladdening sea and shore, <br />Wake the woods to sing, <br />Streams have felt the sighing <br />Of thy scented wing, <br />Let each found replying, <br />Hail thee, breeze of spring, <br />Once more! <br /> <br />O'er long-buried flowers <br />Passing, not in vain, <br />Odours in soft showers <br />Thou hast brought again, <br />Let the primrose greet thee, <br />Incense forth to meet thee - <br />Wake my heart no more! <br />No more! <br /> <br />From a funeral urn <br />Bower'd in leafy gloom, <br />Ev'n <br />thy <br />soft return <br />Calls not song or bloom. <br />Leave my spirit sleeping <br />Like that silent thing; <br />Stir the founts of weeping <br /> <br />There <br />, O breeze of spring, <br />No more!<br /><br />Felicia Dorothea Hemans<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-thou-breeze-of-spring/
