Blushing Green

I was burned blushing green
 Not yet the ides of May
 The wind still chill
 But was it will
 And the snow sat idly, idly by
 The snow sat idly by
 Born of Earth and silken words
 Sweet birds their flutes did play
 Storm nor tempest made no mark
 On you sweet jolly day
 Come wind and weather, awake, come hither
 Rise up and we will sing
 Ah, the winds must whistle, the flowers, the thistle
 For Jack has brought the spring, the spring
 For Jack has brought the spring
 Leaves unfurl, stretch, and bow
 Strengthen and ignite
 Eyes that shine the boldest sun
 With a laugh to cheer starlight, starlight
 (With a laugh to cheer starlight, starlight)
 A laugh to cheer starlight
 Bound to my unmoving feet
 Imperious thy stand
 Wretched from the cross-cut saw
 My life in human hands
 Come wind and weather, awake, come hither
 Rise up and we will sing
 Ah, the winds must whistle, the flower, the thistle
 For Jack has brought the spring, the spring
 For Jack has brought the spring
 In northern fields of pine I grow
 And nature's secret hold
 Its song lives on in wood and stone
 For pauper prince, or friend, or foe
 And where the brook and river meet
 I wonder at my strength
 Where rock resists most everything
 But the roots of a tender plant
