Youthful Spectacle in Spring

The poem sketches a brief, vivid scene of young men riding through town in a lively new season. Their reckless urging of armoured horses makes the animals leap and strike sparks from cobbles, turning motion into a bright, noisy spectacle. The repetition of the seasonal phrase frames youthful energy as both celebratory and disruptive, suggesting a cyclical renewal in which impulsive action animates urban life.

Young men riding in the street In the bright new season Spur without reason Causing their steeds to leap. And at the pace they keep Their horses' armoured feet Strike sparks from the cobbled street In the bright new season.
