Beneath the crisp and wintery carpet hid
A million buds but stay their blossoming;
And trustful birds have built their nests amid
A million buds but stay their blossoming;
And trustful birds have built their nests amid
The shuttering boughs, and only wait to sing
Till one soft shower from the south shall bid
And hither tempt the pilgrim steps
Of Spring.
Robert Bridges
Feeling a little poetic today, and opened my Bartlett's Familiar Quotations...my addition published in 1955.
A treasure trove of quotes and poems, with an index to help you find a poem or quote for every occasion.
More snow, a pot of soup for dinner, a meeting of my Guild. Enjoy this beautiful day my friends.
