@3February@1 Spring smiled this morning Through a windowpane, And away went capering. I chased her in vain Some toll to take, And found yellow jonquils In her wake. @3March@1 Spring woke me from slumber With a breathy sigh That brushed my cheek As she frisked by. I wondered just What her gift would be -- 'Twas a blustery gust. @3April@1 Spring kissed my lips today And wept in rapture; While she laughed at her tears I made sure her capture. Upon the warm earth's breast The sparkling drops fell greenly. Spring was gay dressed. @3May@1 Spring held in warm embrace Offers sweet flowers, Travail of sun and wind And gentle showers. Tender farewell, alas! Summer's hot breath comes, Spring must pass. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DRIFTERS: BELLA COOLA TO WILLIAMS LAKE by KAREN SWENSON THE DESPONDING SOUL'S WISH by JOHN BYROM DIVINA COMMEDIA (INTRODUCTORY POEMS): 1 by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW CHRISTMAS CAROL by SARA TEASDALE NORTHERN FARMER, NEW STYLE by ALFRED TENNYSON INSULTING BEAUTY by JOHN WILMOT ODES: BOOK 2: ODE 10.
