Hear We the song sparrow over the
hill
Calling. calling, calling?
How can you sit
While the moments fit,
And the warm sunlight Is falling
Falling aslant the hillside there
Where. the soft new things are grow
ing,
Where the shadows deep
Are still asleep
How can you keep from going? y
Hear ye the voice of the springtime ?
Such is the joy 1t brings
The heart is stirred
At the very word
And the soul within us sings,
Winthrop, Maine.
