Ode To An Oncoming Spring

Few hearts now weep to see you go O cold harsh naked winter The last icy tremor of your merciless winds Fizzling through the choked air Leaves it's thinning threads in The oncoming fairyland of Spring. Winter have you gone, answer me? A refreshing winter you have been But how we have longed for your departure Away away and bury yourself, O harsh east wind Go now, your season is over Snatch off your furred coating And bid welcome - To a bursting singing Spring. Welcome, welcome, first lady of creation Your sweet scented grass sheds tears of dew Tears of elation, as morning peeps. As foetal clouds now bathe us In your new re-birth Winter threads it's skeleton hand With it's new love Spring And with it a new energy is born. Greenery buds with purity and freshness The orange canopy floods us with her mirth While the swelling sun in giant splendour Can no longer conceal The first flush of Spring. The world is awakened by it's mighty arrival The dance of the daffodils is about to begin.
