Ho! All Hail Madcap March





I see the snow-drops flutter

Their white wings in the gale.

I hear the robin utter

On high his gallant tale.



The appearance of  Robin Red-Breast is a sure sign
that Spring is on the way!

Look where the rash wind chases

With clouds the climbing sun!

The day makes merry faces-

Gaily her gray steeds run.


The bare brown trees are swinging,

The curled waves roll and rail.

Ho!-madcap Spring comes singing

On frosty Winter's trail!


"March"
Harriet Monroe
(1850-1936)
American poet
