THE SECRET (1), by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND
First Line: On that first day so singular
Last Line: "you'll know!"
Subject(s): Spring
First Line: On that first day so singular
Last Line: "you'll know!"
Subject(s): Spring
On that first day so singular
Under the ground,
It was too dark for crescent or for star,
Too deep for sound.
And lying there one thought alone
I could not still:
How soon would snow-white cherry buds be blown
Across the hill.
And then a voice within the tomb
Said very low:
"When April lights her first sharp flame of bloom
You'll know!"
