Springidy Sprungidy

Dear spring, saw this today and thought of you. I'm waiting impatiently for you! You and all your blue skied, sunny crispness. You are what you are. Not like sneaky summer and all its false promises.


The Snowdrop
Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)
Many, many welcomes,
February fair-maid,
Ever as of old time,
Solitary firstling,
Coming in the cold time,
Prophet of the gay time,
Prophet of the May time,
Prophet of the roses,
Many, many welcomes,
February fair-maid!
