BARREN SPRING, by VIVIAN STRATTON
First Line: Although the peach and cherry trees will bloom
Last Line: Because, oh just because, you are not here.
Subject(s): Spring
First Line: Although the peach and cherry trees will bloom
Last Line: Because, oh just because, you are not here.
Subject(s): Spring
Although the peach and cherry trees will bloom
In loveliness, and trilliums unfold;
Although the lowly buttercups will turn
The rolling meadowlands to molten gold.
And though the mating birds again will build
Their nests within the spreading maple trees,
I shall not see the beauty of the spring
Or loveliness in any one of these.
For spring will be a barren thing this year,
Because, oh just because, you are not here.
