Wilde, George James de: On the Arrival of Spring - ZaunköniG - 07.05.2007 On the Arrival of Spring Now is the young Spring with us: her blue eyes And sunny smile come flushing through the tears Rude March hath startled from her; for she hears The gentle footfall and the wooing sighs Of coming April, nor to him denies (Sweet task!) the soothing of her virgin fears. More balmy and more balmy, as he nears, Her breath becomes; more sunny bright her eyes. And now to live! – now to arouse and shake The wintry torpor from the spirit, - now To see the early Sun from slumber wake, And bath in moonshine the uplifted brow; To shame dull Winter, - time for work, - yet take Much holiday for art’s and friendship’s sake. |
