SPRING..

Dew on lilacs, on the trees a mist of
green;
Dancing daffodils, all sunshine sheen;
Fruit trees a billOw of white and rosy
foam;
Vagrant southern breezes. violet laden,
roam;
Hyacinth and tulip and crocus, frai1 and
pure
The lifting liquid bird note-alI breathe
springtime lure.
Deep blue of the sky, white clouds float
ing there;
The silver rain-drenched freshness and
clearness of the air;
Fragrance of moist brown earth and
growing things so fair
All these a glowing gladness, a glee and
joy declare.
Green daisy-dappled meadow; all the wild
flower thrOng:
Pattering showers and rush of wind, but
add unto the song;
Hills flecked with sun and shadow; every
budding, blOssomy thing
Proclaims the sweet magic, mystic, mir
acle of spring. NJ. G. r.

IL PENSEROSO.

'T'is spring, for / just heard a robin sing,
Swaying on the branch of the apple
tree;
But all his joyous song still cannot bring
Spring to my hear or joy return to me-
close my eyes and listen to his song.
And as | listen dream of that fair time.
Where 'mOngst the hills, / wandered all
day long,
And youth and hope and love were in
their prime.
The bird his song has stopped, old mem
cries die;
Time has passed and am all alone,
While youth and hope and love in ashes
lie,
And past my window cold March winds
make moan.

Pussy Errors in pheasant Easy
Spring."

Spring Poetry Editor of The Herald:
You did me the distinguished honor on
last Sunday to print the easy lines writ
ten by me on pleasant spring. While /
am glad to thank you for the considera-
ton, must confess. even at the cost of
appearing fussy, ,that errors permitted to
appear were very trying to me, as they
would be to any one with warrantable pre-
est to refer to my own writings in strong
er words.) Far be it from me to suggest
that there was intent to defeat me from
winning the chief prize to be awarded, but
ii is inconceivable that the NICE easy
penmanship in which the manuscript was
forwarded to you could have mystified
that what-d' ye-call-him who sets the type,
much less the thng-um-bob that reads
the proofs. Certainly only jealousy on
some part. or somewhere. could have made
the easy expression, March wind no
longer blows" into March winds no
longer blows Such a fussy thunder is
a reflection on my knowledge of gram
mar, and would seem to evidence some
deep-laid determination to destroy the eff
feet of the pleasant verses submitted to
you over my name In the last half of
the last stanZa l am made to say this:
In land and shores the ladies walk
What fussy thing is meant by this no one
can tell but the person guilty. as be-
lieve, deliberately sought to and in effect
did accomplish the destruction of one of
the most pleasant lines in the poem,
which really read as follows: I'm low
cut shoes the ladies walk" How pal
pable and unmiStakable the malice in SUBJ
stituting the idiotic and. fussy words land
and shores" for the easy and appropriate
expression "loW-cut shoes!'
Far be it from me to intimate that any
of the pleasant gentlemen of The Her
aid could intend so fuSsy wrong to one
of the fraternity; but it must be appar-
ent that some what-d' ye-may-call-h him has
effected a change in the types and de-
stroyed what many of the foremost lit
.erary thing-um-bObs in the city consider
perhaps the most pleasant and easy fugi-
tive poem on spring it has been their
what-d' ye-may-c all-it to read for a long
time.
If, in justice to art, you can reproduce
the lines in their perfect form, it would
be an easy qualification to me and nice
and pleasant treat for many friends who
desire to preserve my works as they
come from my brain and thing bon,
and not as they unhappily appeared last
Sunday in the easy Herald.
Respectfully.

SPRING..

Winters gone with its frost and snow,
All natures rests complete;
The eye of every living thing
Opens from its chilly sleep.
The earth. with smiles of melIowed soil,
Bids welcome to us all:
Produces courage to every toll,
Alike TO great and small.
Each plant and tree receives new sap
From mother earth's supply,
Which sends forth buds and scented flow
ers.
Do we enjoy them. you and I?
O. Spring. why canst thou with us stay
And perpetuate our pleasures?
Why dost thou leave US here to wilt
In summers sun and leisures?
These thoughts of thee are nothing new;
Pleasant thoughts return again,
Like the clear, cool water in the brook
Is replenshed by the rain.

ODE TO SPRING.

Spring, sprang, beautiful sprung;
The wild winged warbler is Wanging a
Wung;
The soft south breezes are breezlng a
broze
Which thaws out the ice with remarkable
thoze
The brown red robin hops onto the worm
And bats his left as he feels the worm
Squirm:
The yellow, white, brown and little black
chick
Comes out of his shell with a peep and a
pick
The buds are a-budding, the flowArs
a-blOOming.
Easter hats coming-the bills are at
hand;
The fool killers advent is earnestly
prayed for,
AS the spring poet is abroad in the
land. FEB ZERBY

GOOD OLD sPRINGTIME.

You talk about the springtime,
How glad l am it's here,
And like many others
viii meet it with good cheer,
Now there's the poor old bricklayer,
Who lOafs the winter long
How glad he feels just like the rest,
To hear the robins song.
For we'll he knows his chance has come
To sing put up the line,
So he can lay a course or two,
OF Utah's clay and lime.

The budding springtime, dear, is here
The lovliest time of all the year.
But fine fruit tree with blossoms. on il
Can compare with new spring bonnet.
Oh, these bonnets are of every hue
Pink. green, purple. black and blue;
But alas! for the small girl, It's hard to
see
So now, dear Spring, tho we love thee.
We small girls all hope to see
Next spring-some hats that will not he
As big as miniature apple tree

PLEASANT, EASY SPRING.

The ice is melting in the hills,
The snow no longer SHOWS,
The streams are fed by gentle rills,
March wind no longer blows.
Glad faces feel the pleasant wind,
The thing-um- bOb doth sing.
Old winters tagging far behind
It's spring-nice, easy spring.
And honey bee will honey sip,
The robin soon will rob,
Nice, pleasant lambs will easy skip
With joy the fly will throb.
The earth smells such an easy smell,
Nice nature seems to sing,
Gould anything appear more swell
Than pleasant, easy spring.
The easy robin on the tree,
Doth hunt the pleasant worm,
The what-d' ye-call-it in the sun
With glee doth twist and squirm:
In low-cut shoes the maidens walk,
Upon each hat a wing:
It's nice that fuSsy winters gone
'Tis spring, it's really spring

All natures warmth and beauty is I'M
furled,
And stars. bright Jewels in azure sl1v.
In envy TO outshine the moon do try.
Fair budding flowers, when day is lust
begun,
Court kisses from an ever bright ming sun
To dry the tears which night in parting
shed.
AS from pursuing day he quickly fled
Rejecting in its depths the heavens
bright blue.
F. en- yon dark sea adopts a warmer hue
And joins the birds. as joyously thew sing
In answer to the gentle call of spring.

SPRING.

There's not very much to be said about
Spring
That hasn't been said before;
Like the beautiful snow, it's quite an old
thing;
Spring poets there are galore.
They sing of it's glories in many a rhyme,
But never a word do we hear
Of the troubles and trials of houseclean-
ing time
Which comes when the springtime is
here.
1t means beating carpets till you're black
In the face,
Your hands all blistered and sore,
And eating your meals in any old places
Sleeping, perchance, on the floor.

SPRING.

Love breathes upon the world; we call
Ii spring;
Wakes now from death-like sleep each
bud ard flower;
The birds come back of crimson, dOWny
wing;
All nature feels this wondrous, subtle
power.
The woods put on their dress of dainty
green;
1t deepens as the year is Older grown;
The sun his splendor lends to gid the
scene:
The moon her silver o. er the world hath
thrown.
The sky with changing hues enfolds the
earth;
She, too. her brilliant tint has donned
again;
Gay wedding chimes, the, seasons song of
mirth,
O'erfin the world with one long, glad
refrain

THE COMING OF SPRING.

Spring time is coming. spring time is
here;
Winter is over, summer draws near.
How do I know it? Why do you ask?
L tell by the vanguards and things that
are past.
BY the swelling of buds, that will socg, =
in bloom, ~
And scent up the air with their fragrant
perfume:
And now little leaves on the trees can be
seen,
And covering the ground are grasses SO
green.
Yes, winter is over and spring time is
here,
With flowers, birds and rivers and all il
holds dear;
And may He who brought It and knows
what is best,
Lead our army upward and all of US
bless.

Strange voices call ever Away. away

With the songs of birds and the breath

And I'm born anew with the joys of
Springs
The tones of life and earth.
Year after year when the first voice calls,
The yearning grows new with no full
Surcease.
Till the will and the rule of me droops

Shall / clearer see when the last breath

Or learn the way to go?

SP RING POETRY.

The spring poem editor of The Herald has
gone mad;
They've hauled him off to Provo, where
some respite's to be had
But as yet they dare not put him in a cell
without a pad.
Speak softly, Utah poets for his case is
very bad
He has an hallucination that he once got
I'D an ad
For poetry-the prize winning kind in
Utah to be had
And that all at once this sort of thing
was an universal fad,
But instead of poems there came tn him
what made him very mad
Spring rhymes of all descriptions have
turned his brain, poor lad

The crocus biossoming on hill and lea
The blackbird's liquid notes OF molten

And weaves a velvet carpet for the

While tinkling brooks and rivers rush and

And Aprirs fearful smiles without

A SPRING SALAD,

The beautiful spring is sprung.
On the line the carpet is hung;
Now comes that dreamy feeling
But the back yard work is stealing
All the comfort of air and sky,
And house cleaning brings a sigh.
Oh Spring, if one could but ramble.
And forget the mine stock gamble;
Stroll with Nature hand in hand.
And watch the farmer till the land.
Never read. but write spring sonnets,
Admire. but never pay for bonnets.

For there she sails and sails on high,
And anyone may see
She kndles in the maid and swain

While Winter. standing just behind,

Will the blossoms which bloom all aGlow
In splendor and fragrance, sure bring
Ripened fruit? or will bleak frost and
snow
Destroy the sweet promise of spring?
VIII the beautiful bud be a rose
And seasoning weather agree,
Or will fatality's hand interpose
And clip the young bud from the tree?
Will the hope that's newborn be a truth.
And live for humanity's gain,
Or will it wither and die in its youth
And leave but the signet of pain?
