For all the splendours of winter
Which accost the eye
With sparklings of white flaky
Frost-fairies lighting the sky,
I still wish you Spring.

For then earth bursts with passion.
Births abundantly
In multitudes. As life-force
Spills, feasting to redundance,
Yes - I wish you Spring.

Fragranced delight inspires love.
Blood heats, as soil, when
Faced with pulsating urges
To blossom, so once again
I will wish you - - Spring.
