SPRING.
The crow flies northward, cawtng,
Ere the snow begins its thawing'
And awakens one at early tint of dawn:
There arise rheumatic twinges
And the gate has broke ITS hinges
In the spring.
Anu me Fast Day proclamation
Has Its yearly invitation
To pray within the portals Of a church,
But It doesn't weigh feather
II It's ball-game sort Of weather,
And you wish for summer cottages to search
In the spring.
T Wiss sn ns Ena d fs ssxi Sn blowing
Till somewhere in the merry month Of May;
ifn %da i # bt aHS i e GsRd candle
1t is sharp enough to shave one every day,
IN the spring.
The men who rush the season
With neither rhyme, , nor reason "n.h zoo ,h,s
And shver under clothing much 100 tnins
Make their bids for II physician
And permanent position
Beg ond the noisy worlds unhappy din,
In the spring.
Because the n. ". Wizard
May send us on n BLIZZARD
For n single swallow doesn't make drink
Men p% 'hhai s ma 4oS some IS Scnssanc
And his topcoat once again receives the pink,
In the spring.
All these and many other
signs II springs returning rother
Are daily multiplied on every side:
But the poets verna verses
Lead TO words that sound like curses
When to warm yourself before them you have tried.
And spring has sprung.
