sing me a song.

“It is the first mild day of March:

Each minute sweeter than before…

There is a blessing in the air,

Which seems a sense of joy to yield

To the bare trees, and mountains bare,

And grass in the green field…

We from to-day, my Friend, will date

The opening of the year.

Love, now an universal birth,

From heart to heart is stealing,

From earth to man, from man to earth:

—It is the hour of feeling.’

~William Wordsworth (1770–1850), “To My Sister”

  2. Hi. Beth. Great poem for the beginning of March, St. David’s Day, the Welsh landscape and Wales being the ‘Land of Song’. William Wordsworth one of my favourite poets. I have reblogged. Have a great St. David’s Day.
