Tho Vodoo Of Spring.
come. l come! We have called me long;
I come DER tho mountains, with light
. and song!
Ye may trace my stop DER the Weakening
earth
BY the winds which tell of tho vioaet's
birth
BY the primrose-stars In the shadowy
grass, !
By the green leaves opening as pass
have sent through the wood-paths
glowing sigh
And called out each voice Of the deep
g.. blue sky;
From the night-bird's lay through the
In the groves Of the soft Hesperian
To the swans wild note by the Iceland
lakes,
When the dark tir-brsnch into verdure
breaks
From tho streams and founts I have
loosed the chain:
They are sweeping on to the stlverJ
main.
They are flashing down from the noun
Ia1nS DEO"S,
They are flinging spray DER the forest
boughs..
Taey are bursting fresh their spary
And the earth Scsounds with tho joy of
