Early March
Now in the wood glades are spring lilies white,
Like a carpet between the trees spreading.
Another across farmland fields text’ring,
Green, as yet, still only as lawn grass light;
Initial growth, it’s scarcely achieved quite;
A brighter gold, might sage summer soon bring;
When March has ceased from turbulent wand’ring
And April stopped flying its show’ry kite.
First violets, in a garden, I’ve seen.
Shy, timorous and deep purple they were;
Purple and shy amongst the herbage green.
Not yet, at that moment, causing much stir.
But many violets might grace the scene,
When blithe spring’s next phase begins to occur.
