Is laid. Poor, troubled, lyric ghost,

Spring never was so fair and dear

As Beauty makes her seem this year.

I cannot hold my peace, John Keats,

I am as helpless in the toil

Of Spring as any lamb that bleats

To feel the solid earth recoil

Beneath his puny legs. Spring beats

Her tocsin call to those who love her,

And lo! the dogwood petals cover
