"Nothing is so beautiful as Spring – When weeds

"Nothing is so beautiful as Spring – When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush; Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing; The glassy pear tree leaves and blooms, they brush The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling." From 'Spring' by Gerard Manley Hopkins

'Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.' From 'The Loveliest of Trees' by A.E Housman

"A Light exists in Spring Not present on the Year

"A Light exists in Spring
Not present on the Year
At any other period –
When March is scarcely here

A Color stands abroad
On Solitary Fields
That Science cannot overtake
But Human Nature feels." From 'A Light Exists in Spring' by Emily Dickinson
#HfdsGrN #poemaday #spring

"I am amazed at this spring, this conflagration O

"I am amazed at this spring, this conflagration
Of green fires lit on the soil of the earth, this blaze
Of growing, and sparks that puff in wild gyration,
Faces of people streaming across my gaze.
And I, what fountain of fire am I among
This leaping combustion of spring? My spirit is tossed
About like a shadow buffeted in the throng
Of flames, a shadow that's gone astray, and is lost." From 'The Enkindled Spring' by D.H Lawrence

"Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon you

"Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.
The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
The rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night—
And I love the rain." April Rain Song by Langston Hughes

"Dazzle me, little sun-of-the-grass! And spin me,

"Dazzle me, little sun-of-the-grass!

And spin me, tiny time-machine!
(Tick-tock, sun clock, thistle & dock)

Now no longer known as

Dent-de-Lion, Lion's Tooth, Windblow,
(Tick-tock, sun clock, nettle & dock)

Evening Glow, Milkwitch or Parachute, so

Let new names take and root, thrive and grow
(Tick-tock, sun clock, rattle & dock)" From 'Dandelion' by Robert MacFarlane

"Can I believe there is a heavenlier world than th

"Can I believe there is a heavenlier world than this?
And if there is
Will the heart of any everlasting thing
Bring me these dreams that take my breath away?
They come at evening with the home-flying rooks and the scent
of hay,
Over the fields. They come in spring." From 'In the Fields' by Charlotte Mary Mew
