I know that the Spring-time
Is come, for I [maid
In the morn's early prime
The blythe ;
And high in the clear sky
The martin, that brings
Tidings of summer MO,
Warm on hie wings!
And see, in the hedge hid
The violet blue,
With its hull-opened lid
Laden with dew ;
And in the border trim
The crocus lilts up,
As n young novice prim,
Her tiny cup.
And the brook hurries fast
With bright dimpled face.
As a child's frolics past
Pursued with the chase;
And the wind wooing sip
Delight as it goes,
Vrom the sweet budding lips
Of the young rose.
Olt! tie the Benson gay,
When earth from its gloom,
Warmed by the vernal ray,
Bursts into bloom;
And the soul's cherished thought ,
Imprisoned too lung,
By its own fervor taught,
Dwain; into song!
Then hail to the Spring-time !
Her sunshine, her shown. s!
Welcome the merry chime
!lewd in her bowers!
!led her with beaming Mow,
NV lilt sports and with cheer!
Crown her with garlands now,
Queen of the Year!
