This day in March I walk the hills
All sodden with the first spring rain;
The soft air stirs the stiff brown grass
Like waving grain.

The kildeer's anxious, peevish cry
Comes sharply from the blue abyss;
The bluebird's sweet, caressing call
Falls like a kiss.

Beyond the woodland, smoky dim,
The sun's red ball in gray mist sinks.
The horned lark's trill as frolic sounds
As bobolink's.

And on a sunny western bank,
Where summer's furry mosses creep,
Hepatica's soft gray-green buds
Have waked from sleep.

Then comes a flash of azure wings
Beneath the elm tree's bare, brown arch;
I feel the throb of summer's pulse,
This day in March.
