pewter sky
even wind
spring is starting up again
clouds now parting for the sun
raindrops glistening
everyone
with Apollo's tears in them
Kore coming back to men
and their daughters
hearts now sing
the approaching tramp of spring
praise the March and April rains,
praise melting snow making its lanes
down the asphalt
up the street
stronger now let me repeat
praise the days
and the warmer night
praise the one who made this beauty
praise the days and praise their light
