| At the sign of the shadbush the doors of my springtime swing wide open. |
| It is all gray boulder and brown, with a film of pale green over all, touched here and there by the dreamy white of the shadbush. |
| The shadbush grows in wet places and its fruit is smaller and on shorter stems. |
| At the sign of the shadbush the doors of my memory, too, swing wide open, and I am a boy again in the meadows of my old home. |
| Serviceberries they are also called, and the tree is known also as the shadbush. |
| Oh, yes, spring comes before the shadbush opens, but it is likely not to stay. |
