In Praise Of Spring Poem by Fay Slimm

I early woke this lovely morn
To Spring's most potent song.
The blackbird's trill so loudly sweet
Enticed my heart along
To rise and share the liquid notes
That rang as if to say
'Abandon bed..! Rejoice with me.
And don't deny the day...! '


I tiptoed out in Springtime dew
As sleep fell from my eyes.
With message piercing azure heights
His song filled cloudless skies.


Flawless praise streamed through the air
And carried me away,
In unison with bird and sound,
As both hearts welcomed day.
