The Miracle of Spring.

Topics: classic

What touch is like the Spring's?     By dainty fingerings         Such rare delight to give,         'Tis luxury to live     Amid florescent things.     Through weary months of snow     When Boreas swept low,         How many an anxious hour         We watched one little flower,     And tried to make it grow;     And thrilled with ecstasy     When, half distrustfully,         A timid bud appeared,         A tender scion reared     In window greenery.     But lo! Spring's wealth of bloom     And richness of perfume         Comes as by miracle;         Then why not possible     Within a curtained room?     Ah, no! that everywhere     The earth is passing fair,         And strange new life hath caught,         Is but the marvel wrought     By sunlight, rain, and air.
