FEBRUARY THAW, by                    
First Line: Now these ephemeral glaciers move
Last Line: And occult ecstasies of sound.
Subject(s): Spring


Now these ephemeral glaciers move,
And racked apart by rain and sun,
Disintegrate; and with strange cries,
A thousand crying rivers run.

Not yet the spring and singing frogs;
But these bright rainbows of the ground
Are promises, and they are words,
And occult ecstasies of sound.
