When tho waking call 1t heard
When the call that none may word

Sought out every sleeping thing
Hid beneath tho EARTH
And tho roots Went fumbling out,
Strand by strand and sprout by sprout
Reaching, rambling roundabout,
To their newer birth.

Knew the message deep
That flill SOon Il summons keen
Would break them to living green,
Shaking, flaming in their sheen.
Springing from their sleep.
Roses, roses. all of them
Hidden in the slender stem,
Nestled IN each bud,
Heard the call, and felt and knew
THAT ere long from the the dew
Should, as wine drips, show each hue
White, or gold, or blood,
Blow, o bugle of4thc spring *,
BLOW until each sleeping thing y
Trembles from your art. i

Every measure of your song
Lives and thrills. and echoes long
