Welcome to Faery Elspeth's Sparkling Spring!
ODE TO SPRINGTIME
Oh, springtime..sweet springtime you're finally here!
The snow is all gone and the skies are so clear.
The robins are back from their winter retreat.
The air is so fresh and the flowers are sweet.
I've waited so long for your joyous return.
All through the winter Oh, how I did yearn.
To witness the spendor that only you bring.
The bursting of color a new song to sing.
You warm up the air and the soil of the earth.
To renewal and beauty you glady give birth.
No other season can rival your deeds.
You wash away gloom, you fulfill many needs.
Your rains cleanse the air of the winters bleak look.
You loosen it's grip on each babbling brook.
You wake all of nature from it's winter sleep.
(Even the insects that we wish you'd keep).
You bring forth the blooming of flowers and trees.
You dust winters' ashes with your gentle breeze.
Your crocus and tulips and daffodills too.
Put on quite a show with their coloful hue.
The birds sing your praises with songs crisp and clean.
Oh, springtime sweet spring you're a glorious thing.
You work your magic oh, so well.
There's just one mystery.
You bring such beauty to the world.
Why can't you work on me?
