And oh indeed

And oh indeed

And oh indeed the poet's perfect bliss

To be in England now

That April's awesome here

With scent of Spring new-mown

And blackbird dawn till dusk

In rinse and ring exuberant

As froth and bubble cherry blossom

Pink pink against the utter blue

And cloudless

Lime-green the leafing curls unfurl

Their poignant poetry

Free verse a paeon sung,

Far-flung in praise

A carillon a peal

Sing ring the sunlit days

The world is on the wing

For nothing is, nor could be, ever

More beautiful than Spring
