‎'To A Spring Snow'

I know that your capricious visit was a whim,
but what of shivering daffodils?

and tender buds numbed
by your clumsiness?

it’s true your cousin frost's the crueler one
-the real 'blonde assassin'-

but I wish you'd have compassion
for birds and buds who’ve had enough

of you and him.
-G.L
