The budded trees will soon leaf out,
The brown grass now is green,
And here and there as weed seeds sprout
A dandelion is seen.

The daffodils are budded too
And soon their heads will loom
Above the dainty crocuses
Which now are in full bloom.

And next, a week or two at most,
The tulip will be king,
With heads of nodding royalty
Proclaiming proof of spring.

The birds are all romantics too
Whose love songs fill the air.
Their myriad chirps and whistles
Seem to sprout from everywhere.

The finches' old drab winter coats
Have turned to gold instead,
As if to compliment the blaze
Of cardinals fiery red.

There's much more life to see and hear
Which winter could not share,
And springtime brings a burst of life
To nature everywhere.

So, all you cabin feverites
Wake up, enjoy the view,
But don't just look, absorb the sights
As life begins anew.
