Again Spring
HE iron that winter has left in me shall not Long repel the keen persuasions of spring, For I feel in my breast the proud night collapsing And storms like winded hounds fainting and dying. I WHO have come so far, never ; escaping The battering speech and winter’s woeful breath, See now dissolve the glacial memories, And spring, crowned, mounting the mercy seat. Our of the soil and sky unerring loves Discover my door and joy comes ata This is the spring in me, a new song marching, And hope laughing out of an ambuscade.
