Spring comes laughing down the valley
All in white, from the snow
Where the winter’s armies rally
Loth to go.
Beauty white her garments shower
On the world where they pass, –
Hawthorn hedges, trees in flower,
Daisies in the grass.
Tremulous with longings dim,
Thickets by the river’s rim
Have begun to dream of green.
Every tree is loud with birds.
Bourgeon, heart, – do thy part!
Raise a slender stalk of words
From a root unseen.
(Amelia Josephine Burr)
