up the shady street to the market
shadows as sharp as October
in winter coats the spring sun
is tepid, but makes us happy.
straggling rays reach hopefully
into dingy rooms
was Spring this delightful last year?
Why do I forget joyful days?
Will I forget the frosts and gales soon?
The sun departs too quickly and
leaves us again in freezing winter
but now the crocuses and daffodils
crowd the hedgerows and fields.
Welcome sweet spring.
