“Spring Fever,” Ensign, Apr. 1972, 32
Spring Fever
It’s hard to keep spring
Out of mind and feeling.
Get back to your work, thoughts!
Don’t go reeling
This way and that
From one delight to another.
Each crocus will keep;
The good earth mother
Will bring forth more beauties
As days go by.
You can’t know them all,
So don’t try.
Get back to your work, thoughts.
Go back—yes, but oh—
How can spring wear
Such a misty glow?
