Spring-time to Me

By Ruth Sterry

A HINT of softness in the air, The answering note of nature’s prayer, Spring’s wondrous miracle to be— Let it be spring-time, Lord, to me!
Long have I dwelt in winter’s night, When moon and stars withheld their light, With raging winds and roaring sea— Let it be spring-time, Lord, to me!
I dream of lilies flecked with gold, Of jasper cups from nature’s mold, Of shimmering lights on land and sea— Let it be spring-time, Lord, to me!
Across the chill of winter’s night, There breaks a softness and a light. Bowed at thy feet, I cry to thee— Let it be spring-time, Lord, to me!
—Ruth Sterry, in the Criterion.
