Henry Vaughan Quotes About Spring

Quotes about: Spring

• Sure thou did'st nourish once! and many springs, Many bright mornings, much dew, many showers, Passed o'er thy head; many light hearts and wings, Which now are dead, lodg'd in thy living bowers. And still a new succession sings and flies; Fresh groves grow up, and their green branches shoot Towards the old and still-enduring skies; While the low violet thrives at their root.

  Henry Vaughan

  Morning, Growing Up, Spring

  Henry Vaughan, “The Timber”

• A ward, and still in bonds, one day
  I stole abroad;
  It was high spring, and all the way
  Primrosed and hung with shade;
  Yet was it frost within,
  And surly winds
  Blasted my infant buds, and sin
  Like clouds eclipsed my mind.

  Henry Vaughan

  Spring, Clouds, Wind

  Henry Vaughan (1976). “The complete poems”, Penguin Group USA

• So stick up ivy and the bays, and then restore the heathen ways, green will remind you of the Spring, though this great day denies the thing, and mortifies the earth, and all, but your wild revels, and loose hall.

  Henry Vaughan

  Christmas, Spring, Ivy
