First Day of Spring

There is no time like Spring, When life’s alive in everything, Before new nestlings sing, Before cleft swallows speed their journey back Along the trackless track – God guides their wing, He spreads their table that they nothing lack, – Before the daisy grows a common flower Before the sun has power To scorch the world up in his noontide hour.

Spring is always welcome, but this year the first day of Spring was even more welcome than usual. We had our first COVID vaccine. It seemed appropriate that this should happen as the hedgerows are staring to show green shoots; there are daffodils and primroses in the verges and the lambs are skipping in the fields. New life and new hope. It all feels very prophetic.

Christina Rossetti Spring

There is no time like Spring, 

When life’s alive in everything, 

Before new nestlings sing, 

Before cleft swallows speed their journey back

Along the trackless track – God guides their wing, 

He spreads their table that they nothing lack, – 

Before the daisy grows a common flower 

Before the sun has power 

To scorch the world up in his noontide hour.
