On a day of rain and wind we thought it might be good to share the reassuring opening stanza of George Mackay Brown's poem for Robert Rendall, Chorus: ' Soon Spring Will Come':
Soon Spring will come, and then the thrifty crofter Must yoke an ox, and drive his eager plough Through the wet mould. the sower will follow after, And cast the good seed, rhythmical and slow, Along the furrows fringed with April snow.
After a generally rather mild winter, will April be the month that brings us snow?
