SIGNATURE OF SPRING
New Spring with sudden gusty wind and rain Half-sadly moves across the sorrel hills, Touching the rigid alder brush to red, Bending above the narrow brook that spills Its throaty syllables among the rocks. Wistfully, on stumbling mountainways, Spring turns to green the pussywillow stalks, And sets her signature upon the days That darken to April twilights filled and ravaged By the frogs’ first crying, silversweet and savage. —Frances Frost.
