March Mirrors

March has the happiest mirrors

That ever earth did know

As mirth of rain-sun-chuckles fill

Each dip with melted snow

Now it seems Nature is smiling

No matter where we look

Each hollow is a cheval-glass

Each crevice is a brook

Each indent is a garden-pond

And every tarn and stream

Where white relents is like a trance

A-rife with summer’s dream

That cold and brooding afternoon

Is singing where the snow

Fills frames shaping the gladdest mirr

-ors ever earth did know

We're not seeing any today, but on the week-end the sun warmed the roads enough to create...puddles! We have not seen puddles since December's long gray one!
