Explore "Spring's First Smile" by Théophile Gautier on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
While up and down the earth men pant and plod, / March, laughing at the showers and days unsteady, / And whispering secret orders to the sod, / For Spring makes ready.
And slyly when the world is sleeping yet, / He smooths out collars for the Easter daisies, / And fashions golden buttercups to set / In woodland mazes.
