FOR ONE WHO LOVED SPRING, by                    
First Line: Softly spring treads...In velvet silence slips
Last Line: Crocuses call.
Subject(s): Spring


Softly Spring treads . . . in velvet silence slips
Her greening robe between you and the stir
Of world-sounds . . . you, whose white death-chiseled lips
Short days ago like red pomegranates were.

Silence about you blows
Like hours grown old;
Or as a faded rose
Mingling with mould.

I, too, tread soft, remembering,
Let no word fall
Lest you miss April's murmuring . . .
Crocuses call.
