THE groundflame of the crocus breaks the mould	A
Fair Spring slides hither o'er the Southern sea	B
Wavers on her thin stem the snowdrop cold	A
That trembles not to kisses of the bee	B
Come Spring for now from all the dripping eaves	C
The spear of ice has wept itself away	D
And hour by hour unfolding woodbine leaves	C
O'er his uncertain shadow droops the day	D
She comes The loosen'd rivulets run	E
The frost bead melts upon her golden hair	F
Her mantle slowly greening in the Sun	E
Now wraps her close now arching leaves her bar	G
To breaths of balmier air	F
	-
Up leaps the lark gone wild to welcome her	H
About her glance the tits and shriek the jays	I
Before her skims the jubilant woodpecker	H
The linnet's bosom blushes at her gaze	I
While round her brows a woodland culver flits	I
Watching her large light eyes and gracious looks	I
And in her open palm a halcyon sits	I
Patient the secret splendour of the brooks	I
Come Spring She comes on waste and wood	J
On farm and field but enter also here	K
Diffuse thyself at will thro' all my blood	L
And tho' thy violet sicken into sere	M
Lodge with me all the year	M
	-
Once more a downy drift against the brakes	I
Self darken'd in the sky descending slow	N
But gladly see I thro' the wavering flakes	I
Yon blanching apricot like snow in snow	N
These will thine eyes not brook in forest paths	I
On their perpetual pine nor round the beech	O
They fuse themselves to little spicy baths	I
Solved in the tender blushes of the peach	O
They lose themselves and die	P
On that new life that gems the hawthorn line	Q
Thy gay lent lilies wave and put them by	P
And out once more in varnish'd glory shine	Q
Thy stars of celandine	Q
	-
She floats across the hamlet Heaven lours	I
But in the tearful splendour of her smiles	I
I see the slowl thickening chestnut towers	I
Fill out the spaces by the barren tiles	I
Now past her feet the swallow circling flies	I
A clamorous cuckoo stoops to meet her hand	R
Her light makes rainbows in my closing eyes	I
I hear a charm of song thro' all the land	R
Come Spring She comes and Earth is glad	S
To roll her North below thy deepening dome	T
But ere thy maiden birk be wholly clad	S
And these low bushes dip their twigs in foam	T
Make all true hearths thy home	T
	-
Across my garden and the thicket stirs	I
The fountain pulses high in sunnier jets	I
The blackcap warbles and the turtle purrs	I
The starling claps his tiny castanets	I
Still round her forehead wheels the woodland dove	U
And scatters on her throat the sparks of dew	V
The kingcup fills her footprint and above	U
Broaden the glowing isles of vernal blue	V
Hail ample presence of a Queen	W
Bountiful beautiful apparell'd gay	D
Whose mantle every shade of glancing green	W
Flies back in fragrant breezes to display	D
A tunic white as May	D
	-
She whispers 'From the South I bring you balm	X
For on a tropic mountain was I born	Y
While some dark dweller by the coco palm	X
Watch'd my far meadow zoned with airy morn	Y
From under rose a muffled moan of floods	I
I sat beneath a solitude of snow	N
There no one came the turf was fresh the woods	I
Plunged gulf on gulf thro' all their vales below	N
I saw beyond their silent tops	I
The steaming marshes of the scarlet cranes	I
The slant seas leaning oll the mangrove copse	I
And summer basking in the sultry plains	I
About a land of canes	I
	-
'Then from my vapour girdle soaring forth	Z
I scaled the buoyant highway of the birds	I
And drank the dews and drizzle of the North	Z
That I might mix with men and hear their words	I
On pathway'd plains for while my hand exults	I
Within the bloodless heart of lowly flowers	I
To work old laws of Love to fresh results	I
Thro' manifold effect of simple powers	I
I too would teach the man	A2
Beyond the darker hour to see the bright	B2
That his fresh life may close as it began	A2
The still fulfilling promise of a light	B2
Narrowing the bounds of night '	-
	-
So wed thee with my soul that I may mark	C2
The coming year's great good and varied ills	I
And new developments whatever spark	C2
Be struck from out the clash of warring wills	I
Or whether since our nature cannot rest	D2
The smoke of war's volcano burst again	E2
From hoary deeps that belt the changeful West	D2
Old Empires dwellings of the kings of men	E2
Or should those fail that hold the helm	F2
While the long day of knowledge grows and warms	I
And in the heart of this most ancient realm	F2
A hateful voice be utter'd and alarms	I
Sounding 'To arms to arms '	-
	-
A simpler saner lesson might he learn	G2
Who reads thy gradual process Holy Spring	H2
Thy leaves possess the season in their turn	G2
And in their time thy warblers rise on wing	H2
How surely glidest thou from March to May	D
And changest breathing it the sullen wind	I2
Thy scope of operation day by day	D
Larger and fuller like the human mind '	-
Thy warmths from bud to bud	L
Accomplish that blind model in the seed	J2
And men have hopes which race the restless blood	L
That after many changes may succeed	J2
Life which is Life indeed	J2
