Spring is a time of boundless love, Riding on a checkered wind. Borne on the wings of a silent dove, A badge above your heart is pinned. A song throughout the ages sung, Unbridled like the wildest steed. Emotions throughout the cosmos flung, Lust is met by sorest need. Rolling 'neath the shining sun, Laughing like a happy child. As if on fire, inside the sun, Unleashed, unteathered, free and wild. Leaping like a cosmic fire, Like the making of a star. More worthy than the noblest sire, It seeks you out where'er you are. Brighter than the brightest gem, Purer than a mountain stream. Older than the river Thames, Fleeting like a long nights dream. Spring it is a magic time, Emotions roam in an aimless flock. When smitten men will seek to find, The path of love on which`to walk. Parched with an unquenched thirst, Hungry with a strong desire. When men think nothing of the worst, Passion rages like a fire. Enough to melt the glacial ice, Enough to dam the mighty river. Cut through your soul with a cleavers slice, More precious than copper, gold, or silver. Now as the conclusion hovers near, I have but one more thing to say. If loneliness is creeping near, Remember what you read today. |
