A (rare) lyrical moment

Now I'm sure that spring is here
soft words are in the air
From bards and poets we will hear
(More Hardy than Voltaire)

To think of England now that spring
(so Browningesque) is here,
brings clouds of swallows on the wing
to hear the young Shakespeare

And Herrick writes of flowers new,
with Houseman, blossomed trees
The new born lamb, the skylark too,
are all the things that please

We look to see the spring appear
wherever we may be
for with the turning of the year
comes life enhancing chi
