ODE TO SPRING, by                    
First Line: O spring, fair earth's awakening!
Last Line: And sleep in the primal ethers that abound.
Subject(s): Spring


O spring, fair earth's awakening!
Through cleansing drops of crystal tears
Your wooing voice makes all life ring
With music sweeter than man hears
From dusk to dawn at other times
And with all other rhythm rhymes.
You lull our aching hearts to rest
On your sweet, throbbing, virgin breast.

All aches forgotten in your arms,
We breathe as Eve breathed at birth;
Your lips our aching-cold form warms
And we begin to see that death
Is life grown old from chilling cold
As house of clay begins to mold:
We'll cuddle us warm your arms around
And sleep in the primal ethers that abound.
