Brigid's Gate

Brigid's Gate - Weldon Spring, Missouri

"A hush is over everything, Silent as women wait for love; The world is waiting for the spring." - Sara Teasdale


Brigid’s Gate
Go out into
The chiffon sky
Where waits the frosty air.

To see the ice
On yonder oak,
Entangled in her hair.


Walk down the path,
Now clad in white,
And greet the misty morn.


For Winter’s day
Has come and gone,
And Spring will soon be born.


Now look among
The crystal trees,
So regal and so fair.


And find the gate
That guards her realm,
And I will meet you there.


She beckons us,
To come her way
With pansy and primrose.


Delighting us
With song and verse
And poetry of prose.


Oh, leave the weary night behind,
Come toward the dawn,
She sings,


She smiles gently,
Embraces us,
And we have found the Spring.
