 Thou art so bold to sing
Thy sweetest music in the saddest hour,
Because thy trust is in the love and power,
Which can bring back the spring,
Which can array the naked groves again,
And paint with seasonable flowers the plain.
–Richard Chenevix Trench (1807–86), "To a Robin Redbreast" | | First Day of Spring 2023: The Spring Equinox
