Explore "Song of the Spirits of Spring" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ I. Wafted o'er purple seas, / From gold Hesperides, / Mixed with the southern breeze, / Hail to us spirits! / Dripping with fragrant rains, / Fire of our ardent veins, / Life of the barren plains, / Woodlands and germs that the woodland inherits.
/ II. Wan as the creamy mist, / Tinged with pale amethyst, / Warm with the sun that kissed / Vine-tangled mountains / Looming o'er tropic lakes, / Where ev'ry air that shakes / Tamarisk coverts makes / Music that haunts like the falling of fountains.
