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.
