"At turn of year, when winter's past and spring's at hand, I think at last I understand. Then comes the night when peepers shrill and geese in flight gabble the moon. And then I say that all I know can be stowed away in an acorn cup. But this is plain: That snow is snow and rain is rain, that wind is change, that water ran before earth felt the foot of man; that flesh and blood of me are kinned with grass and bush and tree and wind; that love is sweet and salt are tears; that days become the turning years; that I am new and time is old; that love is warm and hate is cold. What more is there to understand when winter's past and spring's at hand?"
