The Spring Frenzy.

While leaning against a southern wall,
No wonder that poesy seizes Us an
A furry Of snow, then dash Of sleet,
And the noonday sun thaws the village street,
A luckless wight by the ice surprised
Comes up from a tumble all fertilized a.
10 burst into language. which just az that time
He hasn't the grace 70 put ihto rhyme
When household goods are moved some day,
And the stovepipes act in the bad old way
when the little carpet is stretched once more
And refuses 70 cover great big hoor,
There's nary jingle, then, q then
To the words that rise 20 the lips ot men,
when a reckless trifing with summer coats
Il followed BY coughs and smartlng throats-
Well, rhythmic utterance sometimes VIII matt,
For which violent sneezing is much az faults
But, generally speaking, we're an in spring
As hoarse as frogs and a. apt 10 sing
