Milford chronicle., 1943-03-12

ieuuuinB trees, unfolding flowers,
Zephyr winds, refreshing showers,
Hyacinths and dafOdils.
Wintercress beside the riHs,
Lilacs white and purple,
J torsythia and violet,
Grange Ora blossoms and mingonette,
Neighbors making a garden,
PussyWiliows bloom their best,
Once more we know how much we're
blessed
The tender grass reveals new birth
OF spring to mother earth;
The blessed sunshine-the birds that
sing
This. dear folks, is God-sent spring.
