There Is A Budding Morrow In Midnight.

Topics: classic

Wintry boughs against a wintry sky;     Yet the sky is partly blue     And the clouds are partly bright.     Who can tell but sap is mounting high     Out of sight,     Ready to burst through?     Winter is the mother-nurse of Spring,     Lovely for her daughter's sake.     Not unlovely for her own;     For a future buds in everything     Grown or blown     Or about to break.
