High North Wherever mountains soar on high And eagles scream from out the sky, Where raging waters race and foam, That's where I'd like to make my home! I'd like to be a part of spring, When melting snows of April bring Small flowers, blooming in the cold. Mauve saxifrage, marsh marigold. I'd watch the leaves fill up the trees And smell new sap upon the breeze. I'd listen to the sound of loons Mad courting, in the lakes lagoons. In summer, I would travel far Across the hills. I'd count each star That blazed so briefly on short nights. In autumn, gaze at northern lights.. I'd see the aspens golden tide Run color down the mountainside And when the snow began to fall, I'd feel the silence, over all! I'd then my lonely vigil keep, While most of nature lies asleep, Knowing before long, I'd see, The signs of spring, return to me! Betty Lou Hebert Published by Moose Bound Press, 1998 |

I'd then my lonely vigil keep, While most of nature lies asleep, Knowing before long, I'd see, The signs of spring, return to me! I loved this ending stanza. Nature captured perfectly. |
