How Old Is Spring Valentine

The so-called weeds come first
The buttery dandelion
Melting on the tongue
The scotch thistle
Don't touch me there
The shy hepatica
Like a girl undone
It all just keeps getting drawn up
So gently so strongly
You hardly notice
You've been beguiled
Things have begun to flower
Though the hour is old
Come sit with me a while
