First Line: Uproarious month! Spent winter's dying wrath
Last Line: Mad whirlwinds heaping ruin far and wide!
Subject(s): March (month)
Uproarious month! Spent winter's dying wrath,
Howling across the waste and charging down
Upon the groaning woodland's shrieking town,
Lashing the helpless boughs, and in thy path
Scattering thy spoils in hapless aftermath;—
Blow, blow thy spirit's turbulence, and frown
Thy darkest from the sullen skies, and crown
Thy war with all the rage that winter hath!
Thou stormy image of the turbid soul
Swollen with winter of its barren pride,
The monstrous lion of anger roaring there
With raucous breath and rending all the air
With fearful bellowings, that rush and roll
Mad whirlwinds heaping ruin far and wide!
