Seraphic Spring


Before you thought of Spring
Except as a Surmise
You see
- God bless his suddenness -
A Fellow in the Skies
Of independent Hues
A little weather worn
Inspiriting habiliments
Of Indigo and Brown —
With specimens of Song
As if for you to choose —
Discretion in the interval
With gay delays he goes
To some superior Tree
Without a single Leaf
And shouts for joy to Nobody
But his seraphic self -

  2. I agree with Charles. I don't think I ever walked anywhere when I was a child. Lovely photographs.

  4. The bliss of running on green grass . . . I can almost smell it! I, too, once ran everywhere.
