बस यूँही…..

There is no time of the year quite as enjoyable as  spring. Nature celebrates the new year in a joyous explosion of new leaves, flowers and colour. As the multicoloured flowers burst forth amidst new shoots, my home is swept up by the expression of joy.
.
I was reminded of this poem I had read in the 7th grade. (The entire poem is much longer, I will just reproduce a part)
.
.
Blows the thaw-wind pleasantly,
Drips the soaking rain,
By fits looks down the waking sun:
Young grass springs on the plain;
Young leaves clothe early hedgerow trees;
Seeds, and roots, and stones of fruits,
Swollen with sap put forth their shoots;
Curled-headed ferns sprout in the lane;
Birds sing and pair again.
.
There is no time like Spring,
When life’s alive in everything,
Before new nestlings sing,
Before cleft swallows speed their journey back
Along the trackless track –
God guides their wing,
He spreads their table that they nothing lack, –
Before the daisy grows a common flower
Before the sun has power
To scorch the world up in his noontide hour.

.
Christina Rossetti, “Spring”
