The dull skies dripping in the morning rain Cannot obscure the beauty of the trees, The freshly crowned magnolia's crimson stain Or flush of white, like stars on darkened seas,
And green that covers the renascent earth. The cherry tree in airy clouds appears And daffodils beyond all reckoned worth Rejoice and bloom unmindful of the years
That fleeting pass or mortal brevity. The splendour of the seasons holds my soul; Beyond my window's pearlescent drops I see Through fog and mist and death the nearing goal.
