A Light in Spring |
A light exists in Spring not present on the year At any other period - when March is scarcely here. A color stands abroad on solitary fields That science cannot overtake, but human nature feels. -- Emily Dickinson |
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today And give us not to think so far away As the uncertain future - keep us here All simply in the springing of the year. -- Robert Frost |
I meant to do my work today, but a bluebird sang in the apple tree, And a butterfly flitted across the field, and the daffodils were calling to me. The wind went sighing over the land, tossing the new leaves to and fro, And a rainbow held out its shining hand - so what could I do but laugh and go? -- Richard Le Gallienne |
Too green the springing April grass, too blue the silver-speckled sky, For you to tarry here, alas, while happy winds go laughing by, Wasting golden hours indoors, washing windows and scrubbing floors. -- Claude McKay |
Spring is the period express from God; among the other seasons Himself abide, But during March and April, none stir abroad, without a cordial interview with God. -- Emily DIckinson |
