GODS MIRACLE OF MAY.

There came q message to the vinA
A whisper to the tree,
The bluebird saw the secret sign
And merrily sang hel
And like q silver string the brook
Trembled with music sweet
Enchanting notes In every nook
For echo to repeat.
A magic touch transformed the Zelda
Greener each hour they grew,
Until they shone like FURNISHED shields
All jeweled Ger with dew,
Scattered upon the forest floor
A million bits Of bloom
Breathed fragrance forth thro' morning
door
Into the days bright room.
Then bud by bud the vine confessed
The secret It had heard,
And in the leaves the azure-breast
Sang the delightful word;
Glad flowers upsprang amid the grass
And flung their banners gay,
And suddenly it came to pass
Gods miracle of May!
