Must be Spring
Clouds scudding
Hawthorn budding
Must be Spring
Nights eroding
Light exploding
Life re-loading
Must be Spring
Earthworms snaking
Stillness breaking
Hedgehogs waking
Slumber shaking
Must be Spring
Lambswool snagging
Starlings nagging
Seagulls bragging
Wagtails wagging
Winter sagging
Must be Spring
Kites jet-streaming
Woodlice teeming
Frogspawn gleaming
Spiders scheming
Silk-lines streaming
Summer dreaming
Must be Spring
Hawthorn budding
Must be Spring
Nights eroding
Light exploding
Life re-loading
Must be Spring
Earthworms snaking
Stillness breaking
Hedgehogs waking
Slumber shaking
Must be Spring
Lambswool snagging
Starlings nagging
Seagulls bragging
Wagtails wagging
Winter sagging
Must be Spring
Kites jet-streaming
Woodlice teeming
Frogspawn gleaming
Spiders scheming
Silk-lines streaming
Summer dreaming
Must be Spring
