SPRING TIME




SPRING TIME

Hey! Lo! The vernal breeze heralds the advent of the Spring,
The cuckoos and company are rehearsing to pipe and sing!
Nature in Her gravid attire is preparing to wear flowery rings,
For, She will host an imperial Guest, a unique King of kings!

Ah! The sky above is clear, light and cloudless,
The Earth down is full of peace, bliss and solace!
The pleasant Sun of the delicious dawn showers coolness,
The soothing noon, and the silvery Moon drain dullness!

The busy humming of the bees, the upbeat swinging of the trees,
The sprightly leaps of the brooks, the buoyant skips of the Seas,
The floral canopy of the woods, and gay rides by many a ship,
Ejaculate smiles in the hills, vales and countries on every lip!

Content peasants, oblivious of hardships, feast on their heydays,
The newly rapturous couples blush, gloat, gleam and glaze!
Holi blows the shell of festive colours ahead of joy and mirth,
Yes, Nature gives birth to a rare Heaven on this mundane Earth!

* vernal – related to spring season, * gravid – pregnant
* imperial – majestic, * upbeat – cheerful, *
* buoyant – cheerful, happy, * ejaculate – spring
* oblivious – forgetful, * rapturous – overjoyed
* mundane – ordinary
