The Birds Come Again

Swallow and Robin and Golden Wing
Rcd Ruttcd Grouse and Blue Stocking.
They all swing up from the tecming South.
AT the breath of our Northern spring
The skies are blue and the waters free
And the sweet sap wakes in the sleeping tree;
But the Blue Jays call from the tamaracl
Is the death of the frost to me-
The crimson willows are flaming red
The tulips stir in their stcaming bed
And the ruShcs deep in the swollen stream
Are greenland we thought them dead
From the fields of rice and sugar-cane.
To the tangled swamp and the open lane.
With JOY and love and a Swceter song
The birds come home again
