"FOR LO, THE WINTER IS PAST..." ~ THE 'RITE OF SPRING' (VERNAL EQUINOX)

"Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems."

~Rainer Maria Rilke

For lo, the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing has come
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth its figs,
and the vines are in blossom;
they give forth fragrance.
Arise my love, my fair one,
and come away.

~ The Song of Solomon, 2:11-13
