Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDD EEDDFF BBGHDDI wonder if the sap is stirring yet | A |
If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate | B |
If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun | C |
And crocus fires are kindling one by one | C |
Sing robin sing | D |
I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring | D |

I wonder if the spring tide of this year | E |
Will bring another Spring both lost and dear | E |
If heart and spirit will find out their Spring | D |
Or if the world alone will bud and sing | D |
Sing hope to me | F |
Sweet notes my hope soft notes for memory | F |

The sap will surely quicken soon or late | B |
The tardiest bird will twitter to a mate | B |
So Spring must dawn again with warmth and bloom | G |
Or in this world or in the world to come | H |
Sing voice of Spring | D |
Till I too blossom and rejoice and sing | D |
