SONNET, by                    
First Line: With winged heels spring treads the airy moon
Last Line: Nor mar a day dressed out in green and gold!
Subject(s): Seasons


With wingèd heels Spring treads the airy morn,
A joyous April in her eyes and hair.
At her caress the gentle buds are born
And cast their fragrance on the sunny air.
Each atom vibrates with a newness lush
At the fair Springtide, and delecting sound
Is wakened by the trilling lark and thrush,
While purple grackles skim the freshening ground.
Press forward Spring and hasten Summer's hours:
Let not the hint of Winter left behind
Deflect you from your gracious moods and powers,
Exact a promise of warm days and kind.
The season's latent showers, bid them hold
Nor mar a day dressed out in green and gold!
