\title{Spring}
\poemdedication{for Sam Thomas}
\stanza*
\tab \emph{I wake up now}\\
Brain fires mind—one motif—\\
\tab Green shadows grow,\\
The child unfurling as the leaf\\
\tab \emph{I want to know}\\

\stanza*
\tab \emph{Jump in puddle}\\
Water explodes intricate,\\
\tab Riotous muddle:\\
Profuse and gay and delicate\\
\tab \emph{Mummy cuddle}\\

\stanza*
\tab \emph{Daddy not help}\\
See in small tender kind\\
\tab The new world’s wealth;\\
Spread arms, toss head, roar down the wind\\
\tab \emph{Do it own self}\\
