The weathered winter hard resists

Symphonic Spring of movements brusque;

Thund’rous moments, downpours, mists

In ostenato, until dusk

When agèd sunlight, all but brown

Spills liquid great gigantic gold

Across the flooded mudded ground

To vanquish Winter’s stranglehold.

As watered sunshine softly sows

A topaz garden in the grass,

The molten sunlight river flows

Beyond the day, horizon-past.
