Last Line: Re-echo nature's accolade to spring.
Subject(s): Nature; Robins; Spring


Some days ago
I heard a lilting meadow-lark ...
A robin's wistful wishing for the rain;
While far aloft, the honking, north-bound geese
Repeated a fast-vanishing refrain.

But yesterday
I saw the shimmering mist of green
Where tree-buds smiled their rapture to be free,
A sleepy gopher huddled in the sun,
A hurrying brook that laughed its ecstasy.

And now today
Some towsled-headed lads, intent
On spinning marbles to a magic ring,
With nimble-footed lassies skipping ropes,
Re-echo Nature's accolade to spring.
