Welcome Spring - 42



Primroses and bluebells (again at Harlow Carr Gardens) are both welcome signs of Spring.



Kindly Spring again is here,
Trees and fields in bloom appear;
Hark! the birds with artless lays
Warble their Creator's praise.

Where in winter all was snow,
Now the flowers in clusters grow;
And the corn in green array,
Promises a harvest-day.

Lord, afford a spring to me,
Let me feel like what I see;
Speak, and by thy gracious voice,
Make my drooping soul rejoice.

On thy garden, deign ro smile,
Raise the plants, enrich the soil;
Soon thy presence will restore
Life to what seemed dead before.

Tomorrow, we shall be visiting Lambeth Palace in London.
