Harlequin is playing on his lutte,
A tender quiVering thing;
1t laughs and cries and whisp .rs
OF the coming of the Spring!
To Harlequin, whose heart IL dead,
Spring means not anything;
His heart lies shriveled In his breast
And nevermore will singh
But the artist-soul within him
Is master over his pain:
He plays to all Humanity---So
To them Spring may come again!
