Me again, you again
|
Robin's egg blue again,
|
Eagerly notice the crocuses,
|
Suddenly, Spring arrives,
|
In the sky bluebird reconnaissance,
|
Phoebes dip straw in the mud-
|
Winter's done, hallelujah!
|
All the clouds ungather
|
And the sun shines through.
|
Swallowtailchrysalis
|
Hides in the hyacinth.
|
Never flowed this endlessly
|
Unless you include solitude's end
|
On that day eighteen Aprils ago
|
When we met, I recall how
|
All the clouds ungathered
|
And the sun shined through.
|
I recall how
|
All the clouds ungathered
|
And the sun shined through
|
And the sun shined through
|
|
