Where do the springtime
flowers go
When winter comes again with snow
before their buds
are opened.
Traitor weather, when the clothes
are caught blowing on
the line
And lovers coatless in the field.
What about the violet and other
nameless little blooms
That tempted by the early sun,
came out
Unsuspecting of the storm
Baby blossoms do not know
How innocent violets in snow,
The frozen May flower -- caught
trusting at an early
hour. |
