Yearn
Oh, how I yearn, blossoms of spring
When nights are mired in wintry freeze
And days shudder, as zephyrs zing,
Where fall decayed in frozen breeze.
As meadows ache of dormant dreams
Oh, how I yearn, blossoms of spring
And prairies rushing giggling streams
When songs of romance robins sing.
While shivering trees snowflakes cling
And barren hills long verdant glee,
Oh, how I yearn, blossoms of spring
Where chasing nectar monarchs spree.
When buds winsome of season please
Sprouting trees that rustle and swing,
As tranquil green foothills appease;
Oh, how I yearn, blossoms of spring.
