O lovely Spring
your youthful power
thrust upon these dead
and hollowed trees
breathe into them your warm breath of life
dislodge
stir their frozen stream
harboured within them
by Winter's heatless heart
morning after morning
the sweet dew
drops itself
upon those dead trees
and slowly brings them back to life
