Early One Spring Morning
From dormancy to bud burst
The trees emerge unseen
On heath and hurst
To bring forth the green
That heralds the Spring
Celandine and heartsease
Bejewel the earth
Whilst thrush will tease
From the greening turf
Food for hungry young.
Deeply hidden nests
Hold eggs and chicks.
A clowning hare jests,
Jumps, twists and kicks.
To thwart advances.
Sparkling waters where trout
Lie and lay their eggs
And thereabouts
The female kingfisher begs
From a dripping mate.
A pastoral scene
But not from yesteryear
This can all be seen
But you must take a care
On a spring morning.
