Spring – Poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"fragrant-bushes-009\"<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Frost-locked all the winter,
\nSeeds, and roots, and stones of fruits,
\nWhat shall make their sap ascend
\nThat they may put forth shoots?
\nTips of tender green,
\nLeaf, or blade, or sheath;
\nTelling of the hidden life
\nThat breaks forth underneath,
\nLife nursed in its grave by Death.<\/p>\n

Blows the thaw-wind pleasantly,
\nDrips the soaking rain,
\nBy fits looks down the waking sun:
\nYoung grass springs on the plain;
\nYoung leaves clothe early hedgerow trees;
\nSeeds, and roots, and stones of fruits,
\nSwollen with sap put forth their shoots;
\nCurled-headed ferns sprout in the lane;
\nBirds sing and pair again.<\/p>\n

There is no time like Spring,
\nWhen life’s alive in everything,
\nBefore new nestlings sing,
\nBefore cleft swallows speed their journey back
\nAlong the trackless track –
\nGod guides their wing,
\nHe spreads their table that they nothing lack, –
\nBefore the daisy grows a common flower
\nBefore the sun has power
\nTo scorch the world up in his noontide hour.<\/p>\n

There is no time like Spring,
\nLike Spring that passes by;
\nThere is no life like Spring-life born to die, –
\nPiercing the sod,
\nClothing the uncouth clod,
\nHatched in the nest,
\nFledged on the windy bough,
\nStrong on the wing:
\nThere is no time like Spring that passes by,
\nNow newly born, and now
\nHastening to die.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
