Impromptu in March
Language: English
I will cut you wands of willow, I will fetch you catkins yellow For a sign of March. I've a snowy silken pillow For my head, you foolish fellow -- I've no love for March! Get me buckles, bring me laces, Amber beads and chrysophrases, Fans and castanets! Lady, in the sunny places I can find you early daisies And sweet violets.
