Impromptu in March

I will cut you wands of willow,
I will fetch you catkins yellow
For a sign of March.
I've a snowy silken pillow
For my head, you foolish fellow --
I've no love for March!

Get me buckles, bring me laces,
Amber beads and chrysophrases,
Fans and castanets!
Lady, in the sunny places
I can find you early daisies
And sweet violets.

by D. A. E. Wallace , published <<1919
