SPRING IS COMING! A SONG.
THE WORDS AND MUSIC COMPOSED FOR MERRY’S MUSEUM.
1
Tell me, snow wreath, tell me why
Thou dost steal away so sly,
Why up-on the hill to-day,
But to-mor-row gone a-way?
“Spring is coming, spring is coming!”
2
Tell me, blue-bird, tell me why
Art thou seen in yonder sky,
Pouring music from above,
In a lay that’s all of love?
“Spring is coming—spring is coming!”
3
Tell me, foaming, romping rill,
Dashing headlong down the hill,
Why, like boy from school let out,
Dost thou leap, and laugh, and shout?
“Spring is coming—spring is coming!”
4
Tell me, little daisy, tell
Why in yonder wooded dell
Forth you venture from the ground,
Mid the sere leaves all around?
“Spring is coming—spring is coming!”
