Webb, Cornelius Francis: March - ZaunköniG - 07.05.2007 March LIKE as that lion through the green woods came, With roar which startled the hushed solitudes, Yet, soon as he saw Una, that white dame To Virtue wedded, quieted his rude And savage heart, and at her feet fell tame As a pet lamb,--so March, though his first mood Was boisterous and wild, feeling that shame Would follow his fell steps, if Spring's young brood Of buds and blossoms withered where he trod,-- Calmed his fierce ire. And now both violets Breathe their new lives; the tawny primrose sits Like squatted gypsy on the wayside clod; And early bees are all day on the wing, And work like labour, yet like pleasure sing. |
