THE SIGNS OF THE SEASONS.

What does it mean when the bluebird flies
Over the hills, singing sweet and clear?
When violets peep through the blades of
grass?-
These are the signs that the Spring is here.
What does it mean when the berries are ripe?
When butterflies fit and honey-bees hump
When cattle stand under the shady trees?-
These are the signs that Summer has come.
What does it mean when the crickets chirp,
And away to the southland the wild-geese
steer?
When apples are falling and nuts are brown?-
These are the signs that Autumn is here.
What does it mean when the days are short?
When the leaves are gone and the brooks are
dumb?
When the fields are white with the drifting
Snows?-
These are the signs that Winter has come.
The old stars set, and the new oues rise,
And skies that were stormy grow bright and
clear;
And so the beautiful, wonderful signs
Go round and round with the changing year.
