Characters—Three Children, Spring, Rabbit and creatures of the woods
Part I—The Children
First Child. Oh, how bare the woods look. Not a flower or bud anywhere!
Second Child. Spring is late.
Third Child. Ow-o-o. Let’s run home.
Second Child. Spring has forgotten us. I shan’t come here again.
Part II—Lady Spring
Spring. At last! Be off, Jack Frost and North Wind. You have kept me waiting too long. Now to work. I must waken the flowers. [Waves her wand.]
Flowers. [Awaken.] Welcome, Lady Spring. We have looked for you long.
Spring. Break into buds, trees.
