Song of Spring

Song of Spring

Today I heard a robin sing
 heralding the coming spring
 A song of exultation to the sky
 an ode to earth's awakening

I saw a willow on the hill
 It's branches greening in the sun
 and all the earth seemed hushed & still
 sleeping streams began to run

I heard a softly rising breeze
 whispering through the grass
 singing through the still bare trees
 waiting winter's chill to pass

I saw the sun, so bright and warm
 warming the earth after the rain
 the buds and leaves, no frost to harm
 at least, at last, it's spring again.
