THE JOY OF THE SPRINGTIME, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Springtime, o springtime, what is your essence
Last Line: The roots of delight in the heart of the earth?
Subject(s): Happiness; Spring; Joy; Delight


SPRINGTIME, O Springtime, what is your essence,
The lilt of a bulbul, the laugh of a rose,
The dance of the dew on the wings of a moonbeam,
The voice of the zephyr that sings as he goes,
The hope of a bride or the dream of a maiden
Watching the petals of gladness unclose?

Springtime, O Springtime, what is your secret,
The bliss at the core of your magical mirth,
That quickens the pulse of the morning to wonder
And hastens the seeds of all beauty to birth,
That captures the heavens and conquers to blossom
The roots of delight in the heart of the earth?
