*
Cool and watery the sun rises
*
Is there a change in the air?
Tentative vapour wafts over the field
And reveals green hue floating over damp soil
*
Will aconites and daffodils
Open their eyes to look at a new world?
*
Wish that it be true.
*
Soon the lark will rise
Soon the air turns rich
Soon exploding buds must colour the world
*
Balmy air and rising sap
Inspire lovers to lust
To love
To kiss
And nest
