A slender blade of grass beside a. stone,
A solitary seed of grass wind sown
Beneath the trampling of impatient hoofs.
The happy children in the windy street
Play Ring O’ Roses, gambol, laugh and sing.
Across the blue a. flash of willgs—tweet! tweet!
And so ’tis Spring.
Cathal O’Byrne (1867 – 1957) Ireland
