IS IT SPRING YET?
IS IT SPRING
YET?
I'm confused about mist and dew,
With
crystal beads on ev'rything,
Are they melted Winter snowdrops,
Or the
first raindrops of Spring?
The change from Winter into Spring
Takes place
every year,
Although the date that it occurs,
Is not precisely
clear.
Check the calendar; choose the month,
Pick
whichever you think best,
February, March, or April,
Anyone is still a
guess.
The weather changes as it will,
Regardless of
the season,
It's Spring one day; then Winter next,
There is no rhyme nor
reason.
Sometimes early in the mornings,
Winter's
breath is on the ground,
But when the sun begins to shine,
Twigs and
sprigs of green are found.
Often stormy weather threatens,
Which could
bring rain or sleet or snow,
Is it Wintertime or Springtime?
Until it
breaks, nobody knows.
Springtime teases with soft breezes,
Though
Old Man Winter's not quite gone,
But, then at last, his final blast!
Now
all blown out, he's movin' on!
This tug of war's a foolish game,
Because
Springtime always wins,
How sad her victory's so short,
For soon
Summertime begins.
