"Fled now the sullen murmurs of the North,
The splendid raiment of the Spring peeps forth."
Not quite,
but soon, I trust.

A rural Poem

Robert Bloomfield
I am just cosied up in my apartment hiding from the weather, Merisi, and you tempt me out by showing all these buds . . . :))
ReplyDeleteOh yes but not today unfortunately!
ReplyDeleteAs Shelley's put it
ReplyDelete"If winter comes
Can spring be far behind"
So subtle and charming.
I have seen catkins bursting out on the hazel trees here.
ReplyDeleteAh, I can't wait. I'm tired of being cold.
ReplyDeleteOh yes Merisi, there are buds bursting on some of the trees, my crocus are beginning to flower and daffodils are in bud.
ReplyDeleteWe have high winds and snow forecast for tomorrow. Hope they all survive.
Lorenzo.
These things are trying to blossom, even in the cold...

Your photos are so full of hope and promise for a new beginning; and your poem snippet is wonderful. I've not heard of Robert Bloomfield.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteI thought Nature was smiling all the time :O
Lovely, hopeful signs of spring. Merci bien!
