Now comes the spring.
The glorious time Of earth's awakening.
From out the south the languorous breezes bloS,
And from a sky Of deepest, purest blue,
The amorous sun looks the world below
And kisses into life
The flowers who, buried deep beneath the snow,
Have slept the days OF winter through.
Now comes the spring. u
And likewise comes the poet who would sing ~
OF bright hued flowers, OF grass and trees,
OF humming birds and honey bees, 5
OF golden days 50 warm and bright
And showers that patter on the roof at night
The grateful breeze, the budding trees,
The poet sees-or thinks he sees X,
And straghtway he indites rhyme
Unto the yernll time.
II this were a-were he content
To waste white paper ink and toll y
In writing out, with painful moil, T.. =
The thoughts that glow beneath his vest a. ,
'Twere WE'LL but, ah, he cannot rest, e.
He cannot pause, he cannot stop ~
Till he has sent them to a shop W
Where armed with pencil blue, VI
Sits one who dearly loves to drop l. 8
Such fluctuations out Of view ~
Down in basket wide and deep s.,
Where they for aye and aye will sleep. !
Now comes the spring, r.
And with it comes the Easter frock,
The awful shirt waist and the beer called Book"
The idiot who scorches on bike
On city street and country pike;
The chump who takes the girl he thinks is his
And wastes his substance on ice cream and I'm, I
And other things, the which I may not name.
Burst into being and get i'll the game.
All round things begin to hum,
And thus we know the spring has come.

men did not resume their harvest as
they had expected. There is enough

them want to put up more. The ice

good in most cases and the ice melts
