[spring!may--]

--e.e. cummings

spring!may--

everywhere's here

(with a low high low

and the bird on the bough)

how?why

--we never we know

(so kiss me)shy sweet eagerly my

most dear

(die!live)

the new is the true

and to lose is to have

--we never we know--

brave!brave

(the earth and the sky

are one today)my very so gay

young love

why?how--

we never we know

(with a high low high

in the may in the spring)

live!die

(forever is now)

and dance you suddenly blossoming tree

--i'll sing
