LOVE IN SPRING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Now the violet blooms again
Last Line: Far more excellent is she.
Alternate Author Name(s): Meleagros
Subject(s): Spring


NOW the violet blooms again;
Blooms the lover of the rain,
The jonquil; blooms on every hill
the upland-roaming daffodil.
And now the favourite flower of Love,
Flower of spring, all flowers above,
In bloom perfected sweetly blows --
Zenophile, persuasion's rose.
Meadows of your tresses fain,
You brightly laugh, but laugh in vain;
How sweet soe'er your posies be,
Far more excellent is she.
