“Spring Song” by Lucy Maud Montgomery
The air was full of sun and birds, The fresh air sparkled clearly. Remembrance wakened in my heart And I knew I loved her dearly.
The fallows and the leafless trees And all my spirit tingled. My earliest thought of love, and Spring’s First puff of perfume mingled.
In my still heart the thoughts awoke, Came lone by lone together – Say, birds and sun and Spring, is Love A mere affair of weather?”
Lucy Maud Montgomery’s “Spring Song” captures the essence of gratitude blooming alongside the flowers of spring. As nature awakens from its slumber, we are reminded of the countless blessings that surround us.
The poem’s imagery of sun-dappled fields and birdsong evokes a sense of joy and renewal, stirring the heart with gratitude for the beauty of the world. In the embrace of spring, we find ourselves filled with a deep sense of appreciation for the gifts of life and love.
Montgomery’s words remind us to pause and savor the simple pleasures of each day, to let gratitude blossom within us like the flowers of the season. As we witness the unfolding of spring, let us cultivate an attitude of thankfulness for the abundance of nature and the warmth of human connection.
So let us embrace the season with open hearts and grateful spirits, allowing the beauty of spring to awaken within us a profound sense of gratitude for the wonders of life.
