Redeemer Classical School high school student Jane Schulert’s sonnet was published in The Society of Classical Poets Journal this summer. Please join us in congratulating her and enjoying her work. You can find the original publication at the SCP website here. We look forward to many more beautiful thoughts, artfully arranged, to come from Miss Jane, who is 15.
“A Petrarchan Sonnet for a Spring Day,” by Jane M. Schulert
When sitting on a swing my cheeks were chilled,
I gazed and saw the dawn, a new spring day.
I knew those colors soon would fade away,
But for a moment, time had slowed and stilled.
The sky was cloudless, clear, and it was filled
With purples, reds, a prelude to the day.
It glowed as if from Spenser’s land of fae,
Rejoicing to be as the Father willed.
His blest Son shines with perfect light of gold,
He quenched, for us, and set His flawless flame,
And rose so we could rise and have new morn.
I pray when time escapes and I grow old,
That I may be as clean and just the same,
As how I was when I was first reborn.
