- Kairpra: 'spring time' by dollie radford.

tender buds and blossoms sweet,
fragrant leaves and grasses glowing
from the touch of fairy feet.
in the woods a spirit singing
stays and touches every tree,
and to loving branches clinging
flowers open tremblingly

and around
spread my playthings old & new
quite close to you?”
