Spring

About this book

LibriVox volunteers bring you 16 recordings of Spring by Madison Cawein. This was the Weekly Poetry project for March 30, 2025 ------ His blood is full of the colour and odour of his native landscape. The genius of this poet is like one of those deep rivers of his native state, which cut paths through the forests of chestnut and hemlock as they hurry towards the south and west, brushing[xvii] with the impulsive fringe of their currents the rhododendrons and calmias and azaleas that bend from the banks to be mirrored in their flushing waters. (EDMUND GOSSE, from the introduction to KENTUCKY POEMS BY MADISON CAWEIN (1903))
