Her breath with softcst kisses
The Winter wooed:

Then forth again she Sailed
Ger moor and field
Old Winter stumbled after
The gay deceit:
But only mocklng laughter
His cry did greet
Gay Spring, the bonny maiden,
On pleasure bent.
With bluest violcts laden-
TncS odors scent
Ine race;
Her footprints marked with flowers
That scattered lay,
To show where sunny hours
Had fed away
In chase
At last, with pleasure sated,
The wfnsome Spring
Adosn the valley fatcd
On eager wing
Did bic.
Old Winter shook with passion,
And vowed he'd treat
Gny Spring in such fashion
For mercy meet
She'd cry.
Then forth he went to meet her,
With icy breath
Of cold March winds to greet her,
Ana hint Of death
So dFeur.
He touched her footprints tlowerg
With chilling frost.
Till Springs sweet eyes grew shoEery
For viulcts lost,
Fell fast the April showers
From Springs blue eyes
Upon the dropping towers
y maiden wise,
This Sprfnci
The tiny randrops pelted
... Old Winters core
LII Icy anger melted.
Aud hope once more
Did sing.
The sweet South-wiud caresscd them,
Those eyes SO blue.
And tender lovc-1ights blessed them.
With softer hue
49, O'crcast:
lhen birds and brooks went straying :
= In merry race,
and smiles and flowers went Aay1nR
on Springs dear face
At Lust e1h W.
