He waits the winter's end, the dawn of spring.

7.

Spring comes no more for me: though young March blow

To flame the larches, and from tree to tree

The green fire leap, till all the woodlands glow--

Though every runnel, filled to overflow,

Bear sea-ward, loud and brown with melted snow,

Spring comes no more for me!

Spring comes no more for me: though April light

The flame of gorse above the peacock sea;
