Song of spring

Song of Spring Today I heard a robin sing Heralding the coming spring A song of exultation to the sky An ode to earth's awakening I saw a willow on the hill It's branches greening in the sun And all the earth seemed hushed & still And sleeping streams began to run I heard a softly rising breeze Whispering through the grass Singing through the still bare trees Waiting winter's chill to pass I saw the sun, so bright and warm Warming the earth after the rain The shy buds and leaves, no frost to harm At least, at last, it's spring again.
