The dull world wakened from its Sleep
Cast of its robe of winter sadness:
The leaves from bondage gan to peep,
The brooks O'erfiow ed in jolly madness
All nature list tened to the warning, H.ta
And laughed with glee in springtime's morning
When robin sang
poet sang. f-,.-
1t was a song that reached the heart
OF many a man, of every woman.
1t was the fruit OF perfect art,
1t showed q power divnely human.
His name was known to all :. and then
Fame on her tablets wrote it, when
The poet sang.
mother sang.
Two little eyelids .blinked and dropped
And bright curls nestled on her breast
Contentments bou nty richly trooped:
Sweet innocence found loving rest.
The slumber fairies tiptoed near.
And all the angels stopped TO hear
When mother sang.
