THE SPIRIT OF SPRING.
God sweetens my sleep with balmy
spring night
With sky full of twinkling stars
| rise in a dream like an imprisoned
bird
And futter against the cold bars.
A soft hand is opening a door to some
where,
feel that my life is confined,
And through it leap like bold hap
Ply lamb
And leave last years blunders behind.
