I wonder if the sap is stirring yet,<\/span><\/p>\n

If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,<\/span><\/p>\n

If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun<\/span><\/p>\n

And crocus fires are kindling one by one:<\/span><\/p>\n

Sing robin sing:<\/span><\/p>\n

I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring.<\/span><\/p>\n

March bustles in on windy feet<\/span><\/p>\n

And sweeps my doorstep and my street.<\/span><\/p>\n

She washes and cleans with pounding rains,<\/span><\/p>\n

Scrubbing the earth of winter stains.<\/span><\/p>\n

She shakes the grime from carpet green<\/span><\/p>\n

Til naught but fresh new blades are seen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then house in order, all neat as a pin,<\/span><\/p>\n

She ushers gentle springtime in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where did Gabriel get a lily,<\/span><\/p>\n

In the month of March,<\/span><\/p>\n

When the green<\/span><\/p>\n

Is hardly seen <\/span><\/p>\n

On the early larch?<\/span><\/p>\n
