MARCH.

It is the first day of March,
     Each minute sweeter than before;
The red-breast sings from the tall larch
     That stands beside the door.

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.
  Love, now a universal birth,
     From heart to heart is stealing,
Form earth to man, from man to earth;
     It is the hour of feeling.

One moment now may give us more
     Than fifty years of reason;
Our minds shall drink at every pore
     The spirit of the season.         
           
     
Wordsworth
