A Book of the Seasons: March 18.

March 18.
Sun warm and bright,
early foreglow of the year.
Dreaming of summer.
March 18, 1853

Foreglow of the year, 

the walker goes home at eve 

to dream of summer.

March 18, 1853

The honeybee stretches
and goes forth in search of the
earliest flower.

The spring flower too

expects a winged visitor 

knocking at its door.
