SPRING

Sweet by the river's noisy brink
The water-lily bursts her crown,
The kingfisher comes down to drink
Like rainbow jewels falling down.


And when the blue and grey entwine
The daisy shuts her golden eye,
And peaces wraps all those hills of mine
Safe in my dearest memory.

France,
March 8th, 1917.
