Song of Spring"
Beneath my feet are primroses a lark sings loud on high and o'erhead a slender larch springs, clear, against the sky; from yonder field the soft breeze brings a scent I know of old, where cowslips bursting into bloom, bow down their cups of gold. The meadows area are a dainty green, the hedges all a-bud, across the clear blue sky the clouds like filmy feathers scud; up there the wind is fresh and free, but here stays to dream, to dally with the primrose stalks and linger o'er the stream. 'Twas but a year ago I stood and viewed this very spot and pondered on dear Nature's scene and blessed my happy lot! |
