lyrics

Dark & raining—
but what a glorious thing a spring rain is.
It is easy to imagine that the sounds
of growing things can be heard—

the air full of the songs of birds
One feels surrounded by a nimbus of spring.
[P.M. Sketch of view toward Hess’—]
the budding wild cherry of Albarillis being the feature,
with a song sparrow in its uppermost branch,
head to the sky, singing.

A glorious afternoon,
with pale misty sunlight
& grey wisps of cloud and occasional rain.

The song sparrow sang almost incessantly.

a fine evening—
almost too poignant to either endure or write about—

my mind on fire

A pale misty moon high in the east
