Poets’ Corner
SPRING PASSING (Written for THE SUNJ And so . . . one morning delicate with spring, When all the hills about her little town Shone golden in the sun And scent of gorse and broomflow-er drifted down ... And sorrowing Seemed very far away . . . One day . . . With the sweet breath Of summer all about and winter done And all the sea Silvered and strange and still . . . She . . . who had never known serenity But only body’s ill And heart’s distress . . . Lifted her arms to a new loveliness And looked upon the quiet face of death. ALISON GRANT, Wellington.
