SPRINGTINfE.

Springtime has come,
The birds are on the hum,
The trees are budding.
The streams are flooding,
The farmers are pIoughing the ground.
The colts are neighing.
They're always playing,
The days have grown long,
And the robins first song,
Starts the old world turning around.
The snow has disappeared,
And the mountains will be seered.
BY the shining hot sun
On his daily race run:
The farmers are planting their corn.
The bees are working.
They never think OF shirking.
The moon shines brightly.
Small stars glowing lightly
The winter is over and gone.
