NO well OF melody It's source.
No brilliant roundelay
Is triiled by tones 50 rough and hoarse
Triumphantiy through storm we hear.
Cav, eawl the spring Is near.
The trees are bare, the hHlsides bleak.
The streams by ice are bound;
But still assurance which we seek
In Joyous faith Is found.
When harshly strikes upon the ear,
caw-cawi the spring Is here
No coat Of blue upon his back,
No vest OF crimson hue;
fhs seOfas dasdg " sa.RsrsS al Rs sGSsEs ers black
And loud above their opera clear,
Caw-caw cries ,prfng Is here,
And then the farmers fret and fuss.
Though fields are white with snow.
And gehemently they discuss
That c.rn thief Of a crow;
While impudently to the ear
Comes caw-eaw. the spring Is here.
