The calling roar of wild winds
The bite of cold and frost
The gentle calm and warming sun
So much March this spirit mine
The wet driving falling rain
The delicate mist of the new morning
The birth of Spring
So much March this spirit mine
The peeking green of daffodils
The promise of bloom yet to be
Winds of ever present change
So much March this spirit mine
The quiver of grass new
The brilliant light of the full moon
Aries in splendor known
So much March this spirit mine
Fire within each vision and quest
Mars in rule and command
Cardinal be the reign
So much March this spirit mine.
