MARZO PAZZO, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Mad march, with the wind in his wings wide-spread
Last Line: Mad march.
Subject(s): April; March (month); Marriage; Roundels; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


MAD March, with the wind in his wings widespread,
Leaps from heaven, and the deep dawn's arch
Hails re-risen again from the dead
Mad March.

Soft small flames on rowan and larch
Break forth as laughter on lips that said
Naught till the pulse in them beat love's march.

But the heartbeat now in the lips rose-red
Speaks life to the world, and the winds that parch
Bring April forth as a bride to wed
Mad March.
