.For 10, the winter is past.
Song of Solomon, ii, III.


Ho. the voice of spring Is calling
Where the dreary fields are sleeping
And a whisper, softly falling,
Sets the buried life to creeping;
It is calling: "Waken! Waken!
Till he barren twigs are shaken
And the buds that cling in browsing
Swell with leaves that they are
housing.
And the voice of springtime forces
AL, the sap until it rushes
Through the hidden ways and courses
That it left in wintry bushes;
And the call speeds on, and passes
All the roots of all the grasses
With its word of warning showers
For the world is sleeping flowers.
And the dream-held bees will chuckle
In their sleep, and scent the bursting
OF the rose and honeysuckle.
With the nectar of their thirsting;
Through the orchard goes thrilling
OF the blossoms meant for spilling
To the breezes in their playing
With the shine and shadow straying'
Ho, the voice of spring is speeding
Out across the hills and hollows
And tuned to its joyous leading
Is a song that swiftly follows
Till the birds afar have heard it
On the winds that have not buried Ii,
And their wings are drumming,
drumming,
For they're coming, coming, coming.
Bud and blossom, Ibough and berry,
Sky and soil, and man and maiden
Sense the calling, sweet and merry,
With its olden promise laden
And we rise with hearts enraptured
OF the song that we have captured,
OF the song that lilts with laughter
OF the days that shall come after.
