Happy who for a season may absent themselves on buoyant wing!
The birds that Winter drives away Will surely come again with Spring.
They of our ills will mindful be,
And when at length the storm has passed,
They will return to this same tree Which has so often felt the blast.
Then to our fertile vale will they, a more auspicious presage bring!
The birds that Winter drives away,
Will surely come again with Spring.
-Pierre-Jean de Béranger
I saw this poem, and thought it was appropriate for our collective mental state..maybe it will brighten your thoughts for a moment..it did mine.
