NEW LIFE
Spring comes laughing down the valley
All in white,
from the snow
Where the winter's armies rally
Loth to go.
Beauty white
her garments shower
On the world where they pass, -
Hawthorn hedges, trees
in flower,
Daisies in the grass.
Tremulous with longings dim,
Thickets
by the river's rim
Have begun to dream of green.
Every tree is loud with
birds.
Bourgeon, heart, - do thy part!
Raise a slender stalk of
words
From a root unseen.
From: Stevenson, Burton Egbert.
