| Spring Returns The wild spring maiden dances once more, Ribbons of her breeze tangle around Hawthorn sprigs and tree bark, There’s a grand smile in the air During the wild growing of the Greening Season. Buds adorn grey and brown trees Like emeralds, a green mist To take away the winter’s long dark and cold. Joyous leaflings embrace bare twigs, As a child embraces its mother, and All the world begins anew, As leaves unfurl To reveal the gift of life. |
