A Springtime Parade
BY Margaret W. Leighton.


Ring, dainty straw bells,
Mellow and clear;
Waken the sleepy heads,
Dreaming so near.
"Cnroll, fuzzy fernies:
Throw off your warm hoods
And join the parade
AS it winds through the woods.
"Hark TO the piping.
So clear and so shrill.
Hyla IS trying
His newly learned trill.
Down in the mossy dell
Bloodroot is blowing;
May flowers fragrant
In piny woods growing.
We've mounted the hilltops;
The meadows we've filled,
While brides and tree frogs
Have warbled and trilled.
TO Jack-in-the-pulpit
Well hasten away:
He'll marry my beauties
With little delay"
