Renewal

Long gone is the winter snow
The grim and gloomy white. 
Merry peonies up they rise 
Sunbeams wake them in delight. 

The calla lilies - which last winter withered 
Cannot be gotten back. 
Tis only their tint of scented sweet 
Which dwadles in spring breeze
Bring in with it the memories 
Of times bittersweet. 

With new beginnings and past behind
The slumbering swallow wakes. 
And lo - away - away it flies 
To places far away!
