Spring by Edna St  Vincent Millay

Edna St. Vincent Millay's free-verse poem "Spring" is seemingly about the coming of April. Beneath, it captures the poet's distaste for the season.

This poem was written after Millay's "intense affair" with American poet Arthur Davison Ficke ended abruptly. Thus, it captures the bitter feelings in Millay's heart. In reality, it is a reflective piece on the spring season and how the speaker feels about it.

When the month of April arrives with all its beauty and colors, the speaker thinks people will soon forget about it. Not only that, but they will also forget about those who lost their lives.
