Nature is finally getting in her
work. The freezing blasts of winter
have retreated to their Businesses
about the pole before the gentle
zephyrs Of the tropics. The barren
landscape presents to the starved eye
an animated appearance, with the
sprouting of grass and the budding of
trees. April showers encourage the
advance Of vegetation, and the music
Of the hirds and the spring poet is at

preston; and SO il is natural for
spring to inspire poetry because It is
the season OF Joy at the temperance
Of slum pering nature. Music Is the
natural expression OF JOY. and poetry
Is the next thing to music. Hence
the abundance of spring poetry as the
joyful one wanders through the YER
dant meadows and over the woody
slopes.

In the spring young mans fancy lightly
turns 70 thoughts Of love.
