Spring- Hidden Poetry
©2019 Beverly Stock

Splendid, bright,
with the call 
of spring,
trees flush,
thy oak leaves,
while each year 
thou bequeath 
some pledge of 
greater majesty.

Monadnock in Early Spring Amy Lowell, 1874 - 1925
Cloud-topped and splendid, dominating all
The little lesser hills which compass thee,
Thou standest, bright  with April’s buoyancy,
Yet holding Winter in some shaded wall
Of stern, steep rock; and startled by the call
Of Spring, thy trees flush with expectancy
And cast a cloud of crimson, silently,
Above thy snowy crevices where fall
Pale shriveled oak leaves, while the snow beneath
Melts at their phantom touch. Another year
Is quick with import. Such each year has been.
Unmoved thou watchest all and all bequeath
Some jewel to thy diadem of power,
Thou pledge of greater majesty unseen.
