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
