Begone, old Winter thou white arded thing
clustering tomenor OF the lovely Spring.
a dreaming poet said, that the lap
ofro.y Spring thou did take nap;
And seems, forsooth, that thou doe,
The fiction in good earnest, and dost make
Thy daily 10 her and thou wouldst
Bright Spring Kiss those lips cold and blue!
Old Winter, thou vain-dost thou
The maiden flies whsns,er approached by theel
Thy look, thy whs,ling voice, wings her light feet,
with terror, sunny far retreat,
Where thy cold breath chill again
The birds and flowers rejoicing In her train.
Al the fair things that brighten in her smil.
Vanish away at thy cold presence. While
Thou wsisest through the park and down the street,
The little children who
The Spring with merriment, hack and say,
With and -oss, that Spring has flown away,
And dreadful Winter has returned
And PAGES up and down before The door.
Whenever you 2 shed, hills,
And through the meads and valleys, e'cn the nils,
That iaughd like infants meath the Springs son eye,
Grow cold duIl-al dark they he
Co, Winter, roi for only fright
Warm Spring before ye, dropping, in her flight,
The tender blossoms, nouriShed by her bresth,
To meet, beneath my feet, cruel des,h.
90, vhi,ebesrd 10 Thy lonely home high,
whers snow-capaa mountains pierce northern ,ty-
Howl thy solitude, hut meier again
Trespss- upon our gentle Springs domain.
