SONG FOR SPRING
4: We have so often in the spring Leaned our laughter against the air, Filled our ears with the whispering And the cricket-voice of the night. But still we face the crocus stare Of earth become a living thing, And find that dreams are blossoming in sight. Now suddenly we axe aware Of silence in the midst of sound, Of colour where the earth was bare, Of sunlight rooted in the skies. ? Now every movement is profound. The wind has shouted down despair. And now, again, we taste spring with our eyes. —Robert Wistrand
