Look! Sweet Spring Is Here






Night melts like a pink popsicle
Gilding land and sea with bronze
Look, where darkness hung its mantle
Now the light of new day dawns

Moments meting want and worry
Melt like snowflakes on the tongue
Look, from winter’s frigid flurry
Surf and sod of spring is wrung

Where star-dust fell from yon rafter
Heaven spills a sun-beam urn
Look, the mute brook fills with laughter
As the sight of spring’s return

Look, where dormant tresses tremble
Hollows hint at halos, green
Look, where barren branch and bramble
Soon will be a blossom-queen

Look, where hope replaces hunger
Look where white worlds disappear
Look, where everything seems younger
Because spring, sweet spring is here
