Spring Is Coming

The joyous spring is close at at hand,
the spring that renOvates the land
And once again the birds will sway on
bending boughs, and sing all day; the
skys will be serene and fair, and we
shall breathe the fragrant air, and girls
will swing on garden gates, and there'll
be swarms of candidates. The world
will wear its garb of green, but we will
not enjoy the scene; the birds shall
sing their songs in vain, for we can't
hear the gentle strain; the candidates
will get us all, and back us up against
a wall, and twist their fingers in our
coats, and tell us that they need our
votes. In vain the fragrant breeze
shall blow, in vain the twinkling stars
shall glow; we won't have time for
things like these; We'll listen to the
same old wheeze from patriots who
tell us why they come once more to
bleed and die. And so ! dread the
gentle spring.; like the zephyrs she
will bring, like the bees; like the
bowers, like the what you-call- -'em
flowers, like the bluebirds and their
mates, but OIL hate the candidates!
