“It happened I couldn’t find in all my books
more than a picture and a few words concerning
the trout lily,<\/p>\n

so I shut my eyes.
And let the darkness come in
and roll me back.
The old creek<\/p>\n

began to sing in my ears
as it rolled along, like the hair of spring,
and the young girl I used to be
heard it also,<\/p>\n

as she came swinging into the woods,
truant from everything as usual
except the clear globe of the day, and its
beautiful details.<\/p>\n

Then she stopped,
where the first trout lilies of the year
had sprung from the ground
with their spotted bodies
and their six-antlered bright faces,
and their many red tongues.<\/p>\n

If she spoke to them, I don’t remember what she said,
and if they kindly answered, it’s a gift that can’t be broken
by giving it away.
All I know is, there was a light that lingered, for hours,
under her eyelids — that made a difference
when she went back to a difficult house, at the end of the day.”
–Mary Oliver<\/em><\/p>\n

Some cold and gray snowy days it’s nice to be reminded of spring and trout lilies.<\/p>\n
