           I Am Spring My heart is sad I feel not spring And dwell on thoughts Remembering, 
 The agonies and pains Of past experiences With too few joys and loving interferences 
 And all around me Spring has sprung With thrusting power The renewed young Of tree and flower and leaf and bird Surround me with their yearly urge 
 Unwilling though I want to be I have no choice Nature forces me To see with her Sweet voice 
 That I am part Of this great tapestry Of life and must accept My place and forward grow And one day lift my face And sing, "I am Spring!"
