Thanks all
I think "In Just" is perfect. Puts mud in just the right context. In just
a little bit it will be all of spring and the sheep can go back on the
pasture and the trees will glow with a green halo. The crocus have already
decided that the ground is warm. In just a while I will try to convince The
Wife of this new beautiful context for the mud I track in. I have little
hope.

In Untermeyer's _Modern American Poetry_ (1950) it is called "Chanson
Innocent." But I think it is usually anthologized as "in Just."

"In just-spring, when the world is mud-luscious"
e.e. cummings
Not the title (which was something like "just-spring'). I probably
didn't get the punctuation or capitalization right, as this is all
from an increasingly unreliable memory.
