MARCH

MARCH

Withrushing winds and gloomy skiesThe dark and stubborn Winter dies;Far-off, unseen, Spring faintly cries,Bidding her earliest child arise:March!By streams still held in icy snare,On southern hillsides, melting bare,O’er fields that motley colors wear,That summons fills the changeful air:March!What though conflicting seasons makeThy days their field, they woo or shakeThe sleeping lids of Life awake,And hope is stronger for thy sake,March!Bayard Taylor

Withrushing winds and gloomy skies

The dark and stubborn Winter dies;

Far-off, unseen, Spring faintly cries,

Bidding her earliest child arise:

March!

By streams still held in icy snare,On southern hillsides, melting bare,O’er fields that motley colors wear,That summons fills the changeful air:March!

By streams still held in icy snare,

On southern hillsides, melting bare,

O’er fields that motley colors wear,

That summons fills the changeful air:

March!

What though conflicting seasons makeThy days their field, they woo or shakeThe sleeping lids of Life awake,And hope is stronger for thy sake,March!Bayard Taylor

What though conflicting seasons make

Thy days their field, they woo or shake

The sleeping lids of Life awake,

And hope is stronger for thy sake,

March!
