Sumer Is Icumen In Plain View

Sumer is icumen in
Lhude sing cuccu!
Groweth sed and bloweth med
and springth the wde nu.
Sing cuccu!
Florrie contemplates summer cumen in.  The river is still in flood and probably will be all summer. She doesn't hear cuckoos, but lots of crows again.
And certainly the wood does spring anew. The air is full of gossamer seeds from the cottonwood trees on the riverbank, celebrating life, though their roots are deep in the water.
