A Poem in Anticipation of Spring
The tulips and daffodils are starting to bloom, and the little green leaves are finally appearing. It’s been such a long winter. I cannot wait for spring. Here’s a poem that I’m always reminded of this time of year. It’s also a great one if you happen to need a short poem to memorize.
”Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost
”Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.”

Glad you liked the poem. 😊 I usually have one close at hand. The weather is fickle here, vacillating from warm and sunny to cold and blustery. But, there would be no flowers without rain. 🌸 Hoping you have sunshine and warm weather soon.

Hi Rabbit-heart - just read the poem and I like it - short and sweet! Even though it is 'technically' Spring, it's still pretty cold here, so I am ready for some actual Spring weather!
