Tremulously Meaning

Use tremulous in a sentence. The definition of tremulous is quivering, timid or nervous. When you give a quivering and uncertain smile because you are nervous, this is an example of a smile that would be described as tremulous.

'There Will Come Soft Rains' is a 12-line poem by Sara Teasdale. The work was first published in the July 1918 issue of Harper's Magazine,^[1] and later included in her 1920 collection Flame and Shadow^[2] (see 1920 in poetry). The poem imagines nature reclaiming a battlefield after the fighting is finished. The poem also alludes to the idea of human extinction by war (lines 10 and 12), which was not a commonplace idea until the invention of nuclear weapons, 25 years later.

Text[edit]

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows calling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum-trees in tremulous white;

Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire; Wrc 7 demo download.

And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
