“THE SEASONS”
Spring comes with golden daffodils, To discount wintef-’s draughts and chills, jr Singing hopes eternal song, With her daffodils spring goes along. Summer in her rose wreathed bower, Watches the growth of fruit and flower Through long days of sunlit bliss, And nights of perfumed loveliness. Autumn comes to crown the year With fruit and ripe corn in the ear; She lingers till the faded leaves, Reluctantly fall from the trees. Winter with its freezing wind, So unwelcome and unkind, Assures the hopeful heart and mind, That when winter comes, spring’s right behind. Winter’s the prototype of death, But spring’s the resurrective breath Of the Almighty, whose creative power, Revives the corn, and fruit and flower, With his enduring vitality, The germ of immortality That bursts its chrysalis of clay, And soars upward on .triumuhant wing Above the range of death’s cruel sting. H. SERGANT.
