“your love is like the spring”

Your love is like the spring, a gentle sweep  
Of golden dawn across the rousing earth,  
While crocus stir from twilight’s dreaming sleep,  
And robins sing a hymn of hopeful birth.  

So tender is the rain your caring brings—  
A thimbleful of light in silver lines—  
That coaxes every seed to stretching wings,  
And long-dry bark to curve with sap that climbs.  

Your laughter melts the snow where shadows lay,  
And grass grows wild along the winding lane;  
All grayness seeps away from earthen clay—  
You brush the world with color after rain.  

Your love is like the spring—renewed, unstilled,  
A promise, soft and green, the heart rebuilt.
