When Is Spring?
March is Spring month, but
Spring really begins March 81. On
this date the sun is directly over
the equator. The days and nights
are even. While it is often blustry
at that time we can expect the
warm days to soon begin. What is
Spring?'
Spring is a rebirth of the world
Some one has said, 1T happens
every Spring that the world is
young and gay"-but Spring to
me is thing beauty, wonder,
and joy.
SPRING IS FAITH.
Man has always loved Spring.
Down through the. ages he has
written down his thoughts. Some
of the ones that we like and have
learned are:
Pipper Passes
The years at the Spring
And the days at the morn;
Mornings at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn:
Gods in His heaven
All's right with the world!
By: Browning
Spring is Here
Spring is here today!
Winters gone away.
Spring is here today!
Open the door,
Come out and play
Spring has come to stay!
All the children
Are happy and gay!
Spring is here
Spring has come to stayi

Birds Nests
Birds build their nests from year
20 year,
According to their kind.
Some very neat anu beautiful,
Some easily designed.
The habits of each little bird,
And all its patient skill,
Are surely taught by God Himself
And ordered by His will.
Robert Of Lincoln
BOb-o-link, Bob-o-link,
Sphinx, spank, sphinx,
Bob-o-link, Bob-o-link,
Chez, chez, chez;
Snug and safe in this nest of ours,
hidden among the summer f1ow'rs.
Look, what nice new coat is mine,
Sure, there was never bird so
fine;
Bob-o-link, Bob-o-link,
Sphinx, spank, sphinx;
Robert is singing with all his
might

Birds in Spring
Said the Robin to the Sparrow,
Il should really like to know
Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and worry so'.
Said the Sparrow to the Robin,
Friend. l think that it must be
That they have no Heavenly Father
Such as cares for you and me-.

March
The cock is Growing,
The stream is flowing,
The small birds twitter,
The lake doth glitter,
The green field sleeps in the sun:
The oldest and youngest
are at work with the strongest;
The cattle are grazing,
Their heads never raising;
There are forty feeding like one:
Like an army defeated
The snow hath retreated,
And now doth fare ill
Tn the top of the bare hill;
On the top of the bare hill;
anon,
There's Joy in the mountains;
There's life in the fountains:
Small clouds are sailing,
Blue sky prevailing:
The rain is over and gonei
