THEY SAY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: They say the sky is azure fair
Last Line: Let the spring go -- give me my love!
Subject(s): God; Heaven; Love; Sky; Spring; Paradise


They say the sky is azure fair,
I do not know;
They say the spring is in the air,
It may be so.
They say the crimson-throated shrike
Will nest this year in Alder Dyke --
'Tis very like, 'tis very like.

* * * * *

The spring? Oh God, in heaven above,
Let the spring go -- give me my Love!
