by Katharine Tynan (1861 - 1931)

Language: English 
O year, grow slowly. Exquisite, holy,
   The days go on
With almonds showing the pink stars blowing
   And birds in the dawn.

Grow slowly, year, like a child that is dear,
   Or a lamb that is mild,
By little steps, and by little skips,
   Like a lamb or a child.

Composition:

    Set to music by Doreen Carwithen (1922 - 2003), "Slow Spring" [ voice and piano ]
