Subject(s): Poetry & Poets; Spring


There's a mellow warmth in the soft south wind.
When snows of the north have fled,
The gods be thanked for Spring;
(Thus we of the East-climes sing)
There are no regrets for the days behind,
But there's joy in the days ahead,
Oh, joy in the Hopes of Spring!

As an incense burned in a golden bowl
Casts spells of divining power
And opens the Future's gates,
So the wind from the south creates
A mystic spell o'er the poet's soul,
A vision of tree and flower
In bloom beside jasper gates.

And the south wind brings to the poet's soul
A dream of a golden strand,
And mirrors the sun-sprite's smile
Who dwells in the climes worth while,
For the dreamer's dream marks the poet's goal
In the days of the near-at-hand,
'Tis the land where the sun-sprites smile.
