Wild tulips cleaning all across

Violets, roses, browning Tuscany
These can bring no nearer lowell

Locked in my lilac buds out in the

Spring rides no horses down the

But comes on foot, a goose girl
still;
And all the loveliest things there
be
Come simply, so it seems to me.
ACT II
A drift of fragrance down lane
of spring
Peach trees and pear trees spill
their pink-and-white;
The lavender mountains loonL and
mutely fling :
Bold arms to clasp and quell the

An April spirit haunts the evening

Wistful, and delicate and debonair
ACT Ill
The sweet wild dogwood wears it's

Through silent shadow-patterned

And ivory cream-cups make star
Where robin and wake-robin are.
The Judas-trees let crimson drip
From each spire-pointed finger tip,
And bishops croziers unfold
To dust the ginger-root with gold.
