The Wind Of Spring

Topics: classic

The wind that breathes of columbines     And celandines that crowd the rocks;     That shakes the balsam of the pines     With laughter from his airy locks,     Stops at my city door and knocks.     He calls me far a-forest, where     The twin-leaf and the blood-root bloom;     And, circled by the amber air,     Life sits with beauty and perfume     Weaving the new web of her loom.     He calls me where the waters run     Through fronding ferns where wades the hern;     And, sparkling in the equal sun,     Song leans above her brimming urn,     And dreams the dreams that love shall learn.     The wind has summoned, and I go:     To read God's meaning in each line     The wildflowers write; and, walking slow,     God's purpose, of which song is sign, -     The wind's great, gusty hand in mine.
