Anticipation of Spring
Anticipation of Spring

Now winter’s snows are shrinking,
lace doilies on the lawn,
and dark mornings chased away
by quickening of the dawn.

Now the biting teeth of cold
are blunted by the sun
and birdsong wakes the swaddled form
to hope that winter’s done.

Now the mind turns tentative,
the lengthened days to count,
until the time we say assured
we’re over winter’s mount!
