CONTENTS
Now the moisty wood discloses Wrinkled leaves of primèroses, While the birds, they flute and sing: Build your nests, for here is Spring.
All about the open hills Daisies shew their peasant frills, Washed and white and newly spun For a festival of sun.
Like a blossom from the sky, Drops a yellow butterfly, Dancing down the hedges grey Snow-bestrewn till yesterday.
Squirrels skipping up the trees Smell how Spring is in the breeze, While the birds, they flute and sing: Build your nests, for here is Spring.
