Triumph of Spring
While rushing through the light and shade
of Osier and Aspen proud;
clear water chatters through the glade;
It's laughter echoes loud.
Sweet song drips from Blackbird's beak,
and Crocus wakes from dreams.
As Spring on tiptoe softly creeps;
paints boughs with pinks and creams.
The circle turned since days of old;
life triumphs over death once more.
Blooms from the Winter's grave so cold
to make our spirits soar.
