First Line: The spring this year, as other years
Last Line: I know why spring kneels down.
Subject(s): Spring
The Spring this year, as other years,
Ran through a breathless night
That shook a thousand violets down
The hill and out of sight.
The Spring this year, as other years,
Knelt on her narrow knees,
And talked with God, in drops of warm
Blue rain on apple trees.
And I who bend above a crib
In the lighted, noisy town,
And tuck a little elbow in,
I know why Spring kneels down.
