MARCH MELODY, by                    
First Line: I shall stay home and build my fire, tonight
Last Line: I shall build a refuge here -- for captive spring!
Subject(s): Spring


I shall stay home and build my fire, tonight --
And let the March wind cry;
Yesterday a robin came
And spring was in the sky;
Yesterday, the pussy willow
Blushed with new delight --
I shall watch and build a fire, for them, tonight!

I shall stay home and let my fire-smoke swing
Against the wind's mad roar;
I could hear a bird cry tossed
Against my shuttered door;
Light will warm my willow blossoms
Where they blindly cling;
I shall build a refuge here -- for captive spring!
