The Shuddering Boughs

“Beneath the crisp and wintry carpet hid A million buds but stay their blossoming And trustful birds have built their nests amid The shuddering boughs, and only wait to sing Till one soft shower from the south shall bid And hither tempt the pilgrim steps of Spring.”

~ Robert Bridges


Stepping out of the Blue Period for a bit. I hope you are all enjoying this bustling, bountiful season.
