Philip Larkin - Coming
On longer evenings,
Light, shill and yellow,
Bathes the serene
Foreheads of houses.
A thrush sings,
Laurel-surrounded
In the deep bare garden,
Its fresh-peeled voice
Astonishing the brickwork.
It will be spring soon,
It will be spring soon -
And I, whose childhood
Is a forgotten boredom,
Feel like a child
Who comes on a scene
Of adult reconciling,
And can understand nothing
But the unusual laughter,
And starts to be happy.

I was going to swap the tires from studs to summer on Saturday, but the garage was shut when I got there.
Now the weather forecast says it's going to snow tomorrow evening.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

Mods, can we have a 'cheerful thoughts' emoticon please. Something like a nice big pair of hooters.
Thanks.
