ELUSIVE SPRING, by                    
First Line: I've watched the buds from day to day
Last Line: To watch near the deodar for her.
Subject(s): Spring


I've watched the buds from day to day,
Thinking that spring was far away;
I've chaperoned the iris bold,
While they donned their robes all crowned with gold.

How could she have slipped by unseen,
While I have waited here between
The jasmine and fern, though I prefer
To watch near the deodar for her.
