It's spring now! And I love it more this year than I did last, Because The sun and showers say You are coming Before another month has passed. Last year Spring was spring; that was all,— A pretty thing to greet. But now it means that God let fall A bit of Paradise Right at my feet. I did not have you then, And that is why I did not know That the blue above is not the only sky, And that one may have a Heaven here below. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HE RULETH NOT THROUGH HE RAIGNE OVER REALMES by THOMAS WYATT ONE POET VISITS ANOTHER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES RIDDLE: MAN, STOOL, DOG by MOTHER GOOSE JUBILATE AGNO: GARDNER'S TALENT by CHRISTOPHER SMART COMFORT IN AFFLICTION by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN LINES WRITTEN AT THE CLOSE OF THE YEAR by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD TWELVE SONNETS: 12.
