Some Certain Signs.

There's hazy, lazy, daisy sort o. feel
in in the air,
An the bees will soon be buzzin'
through the country everywhere;
An fellow feels like dreamin'-for
the air is full O. dreams,
An he's all the time a-schemin' for
the fine fish in the streams!
You can almost hear the music of the
dove wings as they pass,
An see the winds that ripple DER the
roses an the grass;
An in cool an dreamy meadows, an
in far and shaded dells,
The singin' o. the mockin' birds-the
cattle with their bells!
Is it just a dream of Springtime? Is
she with us for to stay?
Have the back-blown curls of April
brushed the icy SHOWS away?
Hard to tell you! But I'm listenin' to
the brown bees everywhere,
An hazy, lazy daisy sorter feelin's
