The Call of Spring


Today is 1 March - first day of spring! Congratulations for surviving the winter! :) Almaty in spring is the best ever season for it when the trees are becoming fresh-green, all the city is full of bright-coloured tulips and spring dandelions, you hear the birds singing more and more and of course cats start bawling at nights, sunny warm days make people to go out more for just simple waling outside! Ohh, I love my city in spring time - you can even "smell" it! :) Looking forward to experience a real spring in Tallinn too with at least sunny warm days - it's definitely beautiful this time here! :)

The Call of Spring 
by Norman Schlichter 
When spring begins 
Again to light 
Our happy world 
With colors bright,

The robins all come 
Back to see 
How beautiful 
The earth will be,

With crocus gold,
And daffodils 
Lighting meadows,
Fields, and hills;

With leaves of green 
And tulips gay,
And birds arriving 
Every day.
