Occasional Poetry - 66. Thaw
All errors are mine, including those about the weather.
Thaw
One morning in a February thaw,
I chanced to stroll a sunny campus path
together with my colleague in the law,
enjoying a reprieve from winter's wrath.
The borders glowed unnaturally green,
for Sol had carried all the snow away;
the stratus clouds were nowhere to be seen,
bewildered by his mild and gracious ray.
The lovely earth had shaken off her shroud,
and though untimely, still the warming soil
encouraged both the lowly and the proud
to raise their flowered heads above the spoil.
At this, my comrade shouted in offense:
"Get back you fools, ere winter's recommence!"
