THISTLEDOWN: 11. SPRING, by CORA RANDALL FABBRI

Last Line: Turn back—spring is not dead; she was asleep.
Subject(s): Spring
First Line: The bud that looked out with a wistful smile
Last Line: Turn back—spring is not dead; she was asleep.
Subject(s): Spring
THE bud that looked out with a wistful smile
Has shrunk back in the gray, cold earth to die.
O swallows, swallows, fleeting in the sky,
Go back to your warm, sunny South a while. ...
... Lo! from the cloud-hearts golden daggers leap!
Spring woke just now and smiled with her red mouth:
Nay, swallows, swallows, speeding to the South,
Turn back—Spring is not dead; she was asleep.
