Signs of Spring.

When the twigs begin to rustic
And the birds are all a-bustle
On the Dough;
When an azure sky discloses
Promise sweet of June with roses
On her brow;
When the brock that sang so sadly
Welcomes every sunbeam, gladly
Frollicking;
When to wood-songs subtle rhyming
Countless echoes soft are Ginning,
Then it's spring.
When your clothes seem dank and clingine
And you cannot hear the singing,
Since cold
Gave your head that buzz ecstatic
When you throb with sharp, cratic
Pains untold;
When good-natured folk assure you
That they know just what will cure you
And you bring
A most narrowing melancholy
'Mongst your friends who would be Jolly
Then it's spring.
