Spring

The daffodils hint
That spring is on track
That the Earth is re-warming
Birds are flying back
And the sun is arising
Higher in the sky
As green shoots burst forth
In the hedgerows nearby
And soon on the breath
Of the wind we will hear
The cuckoo reappearing
As she does year on year
With the swallow and others
Coming in on the breeze
Singing mornings have broken
As leaves deck out the trees
For fresh life is about us
Lambs frolic a-new
In the meadows on the hill top
Not that far from you!
