Constance La France Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Spring At Last

 
I love spring and all the bright spring flowers,
the daffodils, tulips the pansy blooms;
oh, I even love those warm spring showers.
I am drunk on all the flower scent fumes,
putting vases of blooms in all my rooms;
and some to brighten up family tombs.

Oh, welcome back sweet butterflies flying,
I love you all- the orange and the blue;
fluttering, drifting-  I feel like crying.
Sweet, sweet painted ladies in every hue,
sometimes you come alone, at times a crew;
come, kiss the flowers that for you-   I grew.

A robin finds a fat worm on my lawn,
little sparrows are gathering for nests;
and all the birds start their singing at dawn.
I love the concert- do not think them pests,
oh, woodpecker does tap, tap, taping tests;
a hummingbird lands on my hand and rests.

I have been waiting all winter for spring;
for you beloved spring-   I want to sing.
