“… Blows the thaw-wind pleasantly,
Drips the soaking rain,
By fits looks down the waking sun:
Young grass springs on the plain;
Young leaves clothe early hedgerow trees;
Seeds, and roots, and stones of fruits,
Swollen with sap put forth their shoots;
Curled-headed ferns sprout in the lane;
Birds sing and pair again.
There is no time like Spring,
When life’s alive in everything,
Before new nestlings sing,
Before cleft swallows speed their journey back
Along the trackless track –
God guides their wing,
He spreads their table that they nothing lack, –
Before the daisy grows a common flower
Before the sun has power
To scorch the world up in his noontide hour.”
-stanzas 2 and 3 of poem “Spring” by Christina Rossetti
What a spectacular poem you’ve chosen to inspire us as artists! Thank you, Art Central, for exposing me to some of Ms. Rossetti’s piece about Spring. I’m going to look her up. Must read more of her work!
