Background
A description of the experience
THE END OF THE SPRING
Over the river's course the boughs have
made
A roof so thick that not a single beam
From the sun's bow can pierce their
massive shade.
Left by the heavy showers, on either hand
The water-weeds peer from the shallow
sand.
The little ducks with light and callous
hearts
Go chasing the dropped petals down
the stream.
They grieve no whit because the spring
departs.
