Song Lyric of the Day (Rodgers and Hart, Evoking the Melancholy in Spring)


“Spring is here!
Why doesn’t the breeze delight me?
Stars appear,
Why doesn’t the night invite me?”—"Spring Is Here,” music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Lorenz Hart, from the musical I Married an Angel (1938)

At least temporarily, I understand a bit what Rodgers and Hart were expressing. While standing by the side of a duck pond in Demarest, N.J., over the weekend, taking this and other photos, I felt that the season was not quite there yet in my heart.

Maybe in a few more weeks—after that snow we‘re supposed to get again tomorrow…
