BEFORE THE SPRING.

The wind has blown the last years leaves
From of the primrose head;
The lilac shoot it's prison cleaves;
The elm-tree tips are red.
And all about. though trees are bare,
And covert none to sing,
The blackbird heralds everywhere
The coming of the spring.
Sing on, sweet bird, for YOU have faith
To trust all darkness is not death!
The spring has signs to show her nigh,
And bid the world prepare;
Has Joy no herald, or must I
Look for no future fair?
Ny heart seems barren as {. world
Where Spring comes nevermore;
10 leaf shows from it's sheath uncurlod;
No birds their rapturcs pour.
let faithless heart, believing be-
The Spring must come again for thee!
