The pleasant spring has come again,
It's voice is in the trees,

Il rides upon the breeze
The scattered flocks are lowing,
Beneath each shady tree.
The gentle winds are blowing,
Oh come, rejoice with mel
The pleasant spring has come again,
hear the rivers roar.
II sparkles, foams, and leaps as when
My summer skiff' il borei
Stern winters chain is rended,
The gushing fonn,s are free,
And light with water blended,
Is dancing o'cr the sea
The pleasant spring has come again,
All natures heart is glad,
The mountains rise like giant men,
And smile with beauty clad -
The pretty flowers are springing
In every greenwood shade.
Their perfumes round them finging
AS sweet as Eden made.
The pleasant spring has come again,
The ploughman's songs arise,
While woodlond-echocs mock and then
The thrilling cadence dies;
The merry birds are singing,
Alar the music floats,
And every vale is ringing
With soft and mellow notes.
The pleasant spring has come again,
1t voice is in the trees,
ltspeaks from every sunny glen,
1t rides upon the breeze
The pretty flowers are springing,
The gushing founts are free,
The merry birds are singing,

Even while vour glow is on the cheek,

BE shed on those whose eyes have seen
Hopes glorious visions fade away
Since ,bou for forms that once were bright,
For saaes in the minds eclipse,
For those whose words were spells OF mlSht,
But falter now on stammerins lips
In ,hy decaying beam there lies
Fun many grave on hill and plain'

In grief that they had lived IN VAN

From out inv darkened orb shall beam,
And broaden till lis shines all night
