I pause to view a splendid sight
While walking by a line of trees:
A damsel dances with delight
In fields of flowers past her knees.
She spreads her trailing gown around,
Revealing blooms and fields of green.
The risen sun has kissed the ground,
And skies of blue enhance the scene.
Her scent pervades the passing breeze
That gently glides amid the leaves.
The birds that fled the winter's freeze
Return to sing atop the eaves.
I've longed to see what spring would bring
And feel her early breath anew.
I love her scent and everything
That makes her days with life renew.
And while she warmly shares her charms,
I ponder verses I could sing,
For I've been freed from winter's arms
And now declare my love for spring.
