MARCH, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Is it strange that we should be
Last Line: Instead of dusty books!
Subject(s): March (month)


Is it strange that we should be
A little mad in March,
When life begins to stir again
In maple, elm and larch;
And birds to pipe in orchestra,
And timid buds unfold,
And even swamps to ache with song,
And stars alone are cold?

Is it strange that we should be
A little mad in spring,
When joy begins to throb again
And birds are on the wing;
When mists around the moon at night
Dance in a golden swirl,
And birch-tree limbs are bare and white
As those of any girl?

Then let us leave our dreary toil
And every trace of sorrow,
And deck ourselves out fine and gay
In what we beg or borrow;
Let us be hushed with silent streams,
And laugh with laughing brooks,
And lose ourselves in singing dreams
Instead of dusty books!
