First Line: I know that deep beneath the weary gray
Last Line: Seeking lost eldorados on the slopes.
Subject(s): Sonnet (as Literary Form); Spring


I know that deep beneath the weary gray
Of reaching plains that lie in level folds
There is a spark of waking life that holds
The quickening soul of spring not far away.
Already close to earth in faint array
The pale green grass shoots pierce the frozen mold's
Fresh loosened crust, beneath uncertain golds
Of last year's growth which melted snows display.
The ranchers' eager beasts have sensed the spring.
With up-flung heads they leave the sheltering hills
To lean against the wind that voices hopes
That all the later sunny days can bring.
I, too, am restless, subject to strange wills,
Seeking lost Eldorados on the slopes.
