Yet It Is Spring
Yet it is spring. The world has come alive,
As everywhere the air distributes balm,
The sky is calm, the plants and beasts revive
From their long hibernation—men to wive
Get them, as every creature without qualm.
Yet it is spring. The world has come alive.
The air is warm, birds frolic, soar and dive
That had been absent, carried by fresh whelm.
The sky is calm, the plants and beasts revive.
The schoolboy feel his ankles clasped in gyve
Each moment in the classroom, with his psalm.
Yet it is spring. The world has come alive
With breath of possibility—the hive
Soon filled with swarm that will not yet keep calm.
The sky is calm, the plants and beasts revive.
Amidst this joy, men plot how to deprive
Some other to get money in the palm.
Yet it is spring. The world has come alive.
The sky is calm. The plants and beasts revive.
