No time to think of consequences.

The First Spring Day
I wonder if the sap is stirring yet,
if wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,
if frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun
and crocus fires are kindling one by one:
Sing, robin, sing;
i still am sore in doubt concerning spring.

I wonder if the springtide of this year
will bring another spring both lost and dear;
if heart and spirit will find out thrir spring,
or if the world alone will bud and sing;
Sing, hope, to me;
sweet notes, my hope, soft notes for memory.

The sap will surely quicken soon or late,
the tardiest bird will twitter to a mate;
so spring must dawn again with warmth and bloom,
or in this world, or in the world to come:
Sing, voice of spring,
till i too blossom and rejoice and sing.
By Christina Rossetti.


It's Half Term Finally Each Day Feels Like Summer Is Getting Nearer.
I Cannot Wait. But How I Do Wish Exams Will Hurry Up And Be Over!
I Went To A Party On Friday. All I Can Say Is Oh Dear.
