Spring

Heinz Dankert

In dusky vaults

I have long dreamt

of your trees and blue skies,

of your scents and the songs of birds.

Now you lie revealed

in glistening splendour,

flushed with light,

like a wonder before me.

You know me again,

you beckon tenderly to me;

all of my limbs quiver

from your blissful presence!
