MARCH. MANY WEATHERS.
March, the mischievous and merry, Hangs on cornet-tree and cherry Wealth of "blossoms'trail and white. Every bough in March winds blowing Imitates Decexkber's snowing, Dropping) pianissimo, Plumflowers (delicately glowing), Cherry blossoms pure as snow. March, the maddest of white witches, Brings wild violets to the ditches, Starts the gold dust on the palm, And (despairing of a lily, Since the weather's still so chilly And the wind is far from cabs) Finds in English daffodilly, Not in Gilead, her balm. Mutch, th» New Year's merriest daughter, Born and bred 'twixt wind and water, Is as wilful as the wind, Of her kindness coy and chary And as fickle as a fairy, With a heart no love can bind — Child *nd maiden, both contrary, And as sweet as Love is blind. —Noba Ceessok.
