We will begin with a haiku:
New buds of springtime
Prophets and mystics aboundNew buds of springtime
Tell of future time
And then a poem -- by Robert Walser:
Presumably no one minds
that the woods are greening again,
that meadows are full of grass,
that birds are singing in the trees,
that violets are blooming from the dirt.
Hundreds and thousands of green leaves!
Spring is a field marshal
who conquers the world,
and no one holds a grudge.
Let us walk in the holy presence.
