Sign of Spring

Heidrun Kordholste-Nikander

The sun is warming up the earth
Nature is waiting for its rebirth
Snowdrops are pushing up the soil
Signs of spring, for people to spoil
Tiny bells white like snow
With a green stem in a bow
Yellow and purple crocus will follow
First in the landscape's hollow
They offer some warmer spots
The snowfield gets colorful dots
White and pink hyacinths
 will sent their smell
And people will fall under its spell
