SPRINGTIME.
Tis springt me on the eastern hills!
Like torrents gush the summer rills
Through winters moss and dry dead leaves
The bladed grass revives and lives;
Pushes the moldering waste away
And glimpses to the April day
In kindly shower and sunshine bud
The branches of the dull gray wood:
out from ts summed and sheltered hooks
The blue eye of the violet looks:
The southwest wind il warmly blowing
And odors from the springng grass,
The pine tree and the sassafras,
Are with il on its errands going.
