Title: The New Spring
Author: Theodosia Garrison [ More Titles by Garrison]
The long grief left her old--and then Came love and made her young again As though some newer, gentler Spring Should start dead roses blossoming; Old roses that have lain full long In some forgotten book of song, Brought from their darkness to be one With lilting winds and rain and sun; And as they too might bring away From that dim volume where they lay Some lyric hint, some song's perfume To add its beauty to their bloom, So love awakes her heart that lies Shrouded in fragrant memories, And bids it bloom again and wake Sweeter for that old sorrow's sake.
[The end] Theodosia Garrison's poem: New Spring ________________________________________________
