~Glows Like Golden Grain ~
( Bragi )
Beautiful first spring day
Bountiful sun but then may rain
Enticing spring is here again at last
Each ray of sun illuminates so fast
Bright sunshine glows like golden grain
Glad spring shines bright this day.
Butterfly dance here and there fast
Most beautiful springs here again
The airs so mild today
The sky is blue and clouds hide and play
So lovely the sun rays sustain
And to all its beams of warm light it cast.
