Ode To Spring

O Spring, I thought you’d never come.
The winter seemed so long.
And now I sense your presence near
in colour and in song.
The cardinal sings a lyric tune;
the crocus are in bloom.
Hyacinth and Daffodil
compete to greet the morn.
The bashful Blood Root 
nods her mute accord.

O Spring!  O Spring! 
You are my smiling world.
Maple leaves escape their bud
as gently they unfurl.
Rhubarb bursts her gnarly crown;
a dream of pies renown.

O Spring!  O Spring!
I see your face
in every corner, every nook.
It matters not
how long you took.
