Description
Being one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, tulips have always captured my heart. When they begin to show their faces, I know that the season will be changing for the better. The winter season will be ending soon. I am reminded of one of my favorite poems, "Spring Song," by Robert Louis Stevenson. Here are the words to the poem:
.............................................................................................................................
Spring Song by Robert Louis Stevenson
.............................................................................................................................
THE air was full of sun and birds,
The fresh air sparkled clearly.
Remembrance wakened in my heart
And I knew I loved her dearly.
............................................................................................................................
The fallows and the leafless trees
And all my spirit tingled.
My earliest thought of love, and Spring's
First puff of perfume mingled.
............................................................................................................................
In my still heart the thoughts awoke,
Came lone by lone together -
Say, birds and Sun and Spring, is Love
A mere affair of weather?
