Tis Sweet the Spring by Mary Ellen SmithTis sweet this promise of the spring
What greenery the rain will bring.
A new surprise with every bloom.
A fragrant quilt from natures loom.
Tis soft the way the breezes kiss
Us with the warmth that we did miss.
And takes the now unfrozen earth
From sleepy slumber to rebirth.
Tis wonderful to hear a bird
The first since winter left is heard.
Singing from a branch on high,
Where soon her baby birds will fly.
Tis wondrous then to contemplate
Even tho the spring be late,
Butterflies and seeds and bees
And a new green dress for all the trees!

And all those fruit trees bloomin' for the bees. |
