Spring Morning by D. H. Lawrence (1885 -1930) Ah, through the open door Is there an almond-tree A flame with blossom! –Let us fight no more. Among the pink and blue Of the sky and the almond flowers A sparrow flutters. –We have come through, It is really spring! –See,When he thinks himself alone How he bullies the flowers. –Ah, you and me How happy well be! –See him?He clouts the tufts of flowers In his impudence. –But, did you dream It would be so bitter? Never mind, It is finished, the spring is here. And were going to be summer-happy –And summer-kind. We have died, we have slain and been slain, We are not our old selves any more. I feel new and eager To start again. It is gorgeous to live and forget. And to feel quite new. See the bird in the flowers? –hes making A rare to-do! He thinks the whole blue sky Is much less than the bit of blue egg Hes got in his nest –well be happy, You and I, I and you. With nothing to fight any more –In each other, at least. See, how gorgeous the world is Outside the door! D. H. Lawrence - Love Poems 2 youtube/watch?v=AKz-B5Kstp8
