“The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness.” Therese of Lisieux

A while back, I wrote a post that was inspired by a Daily Post prompt on Spring. At the time, it was early spring and most of the flowers in my yard and around me were barely showing their colorful buds. As the weeks went by and the weather warmed, flowers slowly bloomed and soon, there was color everywhere. I am thrilled to have a garden filled with bleeding hearts, daffodils, magnolia flowers and growing peony this year… They are all so heartwarming.
Since I had promised to show some more photos of colorful flora in my yard and around town, this post is essentially a way to revisit that subject; another look at spring. As I write this, the time ticks away and so I will have to invite you to stop by later to see more of my photos on what I’ve seen since the earth embraced the sun in spring. I have added two poems on spring for your delight. Enjoy them and share your thoughts? I took more photos of our magnolia blooms and other colorful flowers and shrubs around my neighborhood. I will add them to my Positive Kismet post. Check them out. More Photos coming… later! (Updated)

To The Spring by Friedrich von Schiller
Welcome, gentle Stripling,
Nature’s darling thou!
With thy basket full of blossoms,
A happy welcome now!
Aha!–and thou returnest,
Heartily we greet thee–
The loving and the fair one,
Merrily we meet thee!
Think’st thou of my maiden
In thy heart of glee?
I love her yet, the maiden–
And the maiden yet loves me!
For the maiden, many a blossom
I begged–and not in vain!
I came again a-begging,
And thou–thou givest again:
Welcome, gentle Stripling,
Nature’s darling thou–
With thy basket full of blossoms,
A happy welcome now!
