The green field sleeps in the sun

In like a lion, out like a lamb.

Welcome to March, the harbinger of spring, St. Patrick’s Day, and sometimes Easter (not this year, though.) I like March; it is a month of change and growth.

Unlike the winter months, there are lots of happy, positive March poems. I chose the first one I liked, but I bet there are many more that are just as good.

Written In March

by William Wordsworth
The cock is crowing,
The stream is flowing,
The small birds twitter,
The lake doth glitter
The green field sleeps in the sun;
The oldest and youngest
Are at work with the strongest;
The cattle are grazing,
Their heads never raising;
There are forty feeding like one!

Like an army defeated
The snow hath retreated,
And now doth fare ill
On the top of the bare hill;
The plowboy is whooping—anon-anon:
There’s joy in the mountains;
There’s life in the fountains;
Small clouds are sailing,
Blue sky prevailing;
The rain is over and gone!
