March.(Stopping short on the threshold.)I blow and arouse,Through the worlds wide house,To quicken the torpid earth:Grappling I flingEach feeble thing,But bring strong life to the wrestle and frown,And topple down;I wrench, I rend, I uproot;Yet the violetIs born where I setThe sole of my flying foot.

The American literary reciter; readings, delcamations and plays, original compositions and choice selections of the best literature .. . ome, show me what you bring; For I have said my say, fulfilled my day, And must away. March.(Stopping short on the threshold.)I blow and arouse,Through the worlds wide house,To quicken the torpid earth:Grappling I flingEach feeble thing,But bring strong life to the wrestle and frown,And topple down;I wrench, I rend, I uproot;Yet the violetIs born where I setThe sole of my flying foot. (Hands violets and anemones to Febru-ary, who retires into the background.) And in my wake Frail wind-flowers quake,And the catkins promise fruit. I drive ocean ashore With rush and roar,And he cannot say me nay: My harpstrings all Are the forests tall,Making music when I play. And as others perforce, So I on my courseRun and needs must run, With sap on the mount, And buds past count,And rivers and clouds and sun, With seasons and breath And time and deathAnd all that has yet begun. (Before March has done speaking, avoice is heard approaching accompanied bya twittering of birds. April comes along. < p w 1-1o ft w B
