Analysis of Carpe Deum Vernus

Gregory Cicio

Amongst the newly budded flowers
Who taste the sun and drink the showers
I lay staring into endless skies
While breezes hum their lullabies

How short the fleeting spring days go
Awaken you will love them so
Deeply breathe the new fresh air
And wonder not why you are there

For soon the heat of summer nears
And showers flow like heated tears
Overgrown the fields become
The thorns and branches hurting some

So hearken to the call of spring
A youthful balance it will bring
With lustful thirst just drink it up
And never try to save the cup
