Round and Round the Village

Spring has come to cheer the mind
After winter’s snow and freeze;
Songs of May delight the heart
Warmed by sun and southern breeze.

Lead me to my sweetheart’s home;
Tulips are in fullest bloom,
Early roses bud, fragrant
Lilac bouquets fill her room.

We sing:
“Go round and round the village,
Go round and round the village,
Go round and round the village,
As we have done before . . . .”

Let us greet the mockingbird,
Perched on greening twigs he sings.
By the prattling village brook
We admire a Mayfly’s wings.

Journey’s end in Lovers meeting?
Yes! as long as life may last;
We don’t know tomorrow’s whim,
But for now all gloom has passed.

I like the whimsical spontaneity in this one, Ali. Thanks for the jaunt around the village and into your love nest for a peek.

Hi there, Daniel;
thanks very much. This poem wrote itself; no effort, and I'm glad I provided you with some insight into my love life, lol.
Yeah, such is life in a village. "In and out the window, in and out the window . . . ." Glad you read my rhymes. Oh--today I became a grandfather again! A cute baby girl, which calls for a celebration; I'll go outside to smoke a cigarillo. Thanks, Ali

Wow! Congratulations!

My youngest is now four years old. I have five grandsons and two granddaughters. The oldest ones (twins) and 16-year-old men.

deLighting in your family joy, Daniel

Thank you, Daniel;
my only son started his family at the age of 38, right after his retirement from the US Navy. He and his wife have one 10-year boy, one 6-year old girl, and now Helena, which makes it 2 girls. I'm elated! Congratulations on your own tribe, my dear friend. Ali
