The Enkindled Spring
The Enkindled Spring, by D.H. Lawrence
09-01-2005

 
THIS spring as it comes bursts up in bonfires green,
Wild puffing of emerald trees, and flame-filled bushes,
Thorn-blossom lifting in wreaths of smoke between
Where the wood fumes up and the watery, flickering rushes.
 
I am amazed at this spring, this conflagration        5
Of green fires lit on the soil of the earth, this blaze
Of growing, and sparks that puff in wild gyration,
Faces of people streaming across my gaze.
 
And I, what fountain of fire am I among
This leaping combustion of spring? My spirit is tossed        10
About like a shadow buffeted in the throng
Of flames, a shadow that’s gone astray, and is lost.
