Nature

Ah! did you ever hear the Spring

by Richard Le Gallienne 1866–1947

From The Lonely Dancer (1913)

Nature

Ah! did you ever hear the Spring
Calling you through the snow,
Or hear the little blackbird sing
Inside its egg--or go
To that green land where grass begins,
Each tiny seed, to grow?

O have you heard what none has heard,
Or seen what none has seen;
O have you been to that strange land
Where no one else has been!
