VERY EARLY SPRING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The fields are snowbound no longer
Last Line: And the flags of tenderest green bend and quiver.
Alternate Author Name(s): Murry, John Middleton, Mrs.; Beauchamp, Kathleen
Subject(s): Spring


The fields are snowbound no longer;
There are little blue lakes and flags of tenderest green.
The snow has been caught up into the sky --
So many white clouds -- and the blue of the sky is cold.
Now the sun walks in the forest,
He touches the bows and stems with his golden fingers;
They shiver, and wake from slumber.
Over the barren branches he shakes his yellow curls.
Yet is the forest full of the sound of tears....
A wind dances over the fields.
Shrill and clear the sound of her waking laughter,
Yet the little blue lakes tremble
And the flags of tenderest green bend and quiver.
