WELCOME SPRING

Do not delay to come, Oh spring,
with all thy wondrous gifts and grace;      
For surely thou canst us supply,                         
indeed! Canst in profusion bring                          
the light, the life, the New Year’s face,            
the joy for which mankind doth cry.                        
For, surely winter’s sullen, drear                       
and weary, sorrowed, careworn race,                               
on Spring’s bright bounty can rely,                       
 to usher in fair summer’s cheer.                      
 For Aye!

"'Tis certain, winter's sullen, drear
and weary, sorrowed, careworn race,
on Spring's bright bounty can rely,
to usher in fair summer's cheer.
For Aye! "

A bright vision of hope for Spring to spread a blanket of warmth over winter's frosty chill.
Wonderful...I can visualise the flowers blooming in a surge of new life.
