SPRING          
Hark! Birds are singing their old song
    And yet it sounds so new
They glory that the Winter strong
    For conquering Springtime flew.


And Bluebells squint through sunny land,
    Ring glory in your heart;
Fair blossoms flow from Master's hand
    Your sorrows let depart.

Throw off of heart the chilly snow
    And let its flowers sprout
Within yourself let Springtime glow
   
And Winter will move out.

FALL               
How mildly shines the loving sun
    With caterpillar creeping,
While draping by the spider spun
    In mid-air goes aleaping.

The flower droops its wilting head,
    The golden leaf is tumbling,

Dear Nature's glory goes to bed,
    Its beauty is acrumbling.

Migrating birds with fare-well song
    Give thanks for all the blessing
And weather-changes fast and strong
    Keep prophets all aguessing.

But then we know that behind all

   
Is God's eternal weaving
What now succumbs to frosty Fall
   
For new life is aleaving.

                               
Carl Marty, Sr.
