I HAVE been happy two weeks together, <br />My love is coming home to me, <br />Gold and silver is the weather <br />And smooth as lapis is the sea. <br />The earth has turned its brown to green <br />After three nights of humming rain, <br />And in the valleys peck and preen <br />Linnets with a scarlet stain. <br />High in the mountains all alone <br />The wild swans whistle on the lakes, <br />But I have been as still as stone, <br />My heart sings only when it breaks.<br /><br />Sara Teasdale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-spring-santa-barbara/
