Excerpt from Poems Gain hard winter hides his cruel hand, Rebuked and tamed before the gentle spring Again she travels through the wounded land, Restoring nature with her healing wing. The mountains, weary with their wintry strife, Lashed by its storms and pinched with bitter wind, Warmed by her genial breath, renew their life.
