The Shining Pathway

March is Here
SUNSHINE floods the peaceful land,
Grass is growing, leaves expand;
Summer must be drawing near--
So it seems, for March is here.
From The Shining Pathway.
Grass is growing, leaves expand;
Summer must be drawing near--
So it seems, for March is here.
Nature clothes herself in white,
Doing this just over night;
Wind is roaring, sky is drear--
Can it be that March is here?
Robins flit about the lawn,
As though winter now was gone,
Making room for spring-time cheer--
But remember! March is here!
As though winter now was gone,
Making room for spring-time cheer--
But remember! March is here!
Summer, Winter, here contend
Each may win, the two may blend;
Days are dark--as often clear,
What a mixture! March is here!
Each may win, the two may blend;
Days are dark--as often clear,
What a mixture! March is here!
Buds awake from winter nap,
Feel the flow of rising sap,
All unconscious of the cost
They must pay for each late frost.
Summer comes when winter goes,--
Leaves and fruit and fragrant rose,
Balmy breezes, friendly sky--
Call up March and say Good-bye!
From The Shining Pathway.

That's a pretty poem. Does it pretty much sum up March in IL? 'Cause that's sure not March in TX! Wherever it is, I'd like to go hang out there for a few weeks, though.
C'mon up! You'd be welcome! (But I'd just as soon have March in Texas!--I'm ready for some warmth!)
It does sum up March in the Mid West. I've lived in OH, PA, KY, and now IL and KY was the only state that really had spring in March.
