The Newcomers

Max Michelson

SPRING has come in the city;

And the sun and the rain,

And a thousand spirits swarming from God knows where,

Push the buried grasses

And pull them,

Calling: “Go out! jump out!”

And these little ones break through,

Wink at us and taunt:

“We are naked, fresh, and green,

And you are not!”
