You must be weary of winter, I know;
Hark! while I sing you a message of cheer:
Summer is coming, and springtime is here.
Little white snowdrops! I pray you arise;
Bright yellow crocus! come, open your eyes;
Daffodils! Daffodils! say, do you hear?
Summer is coming, and springtime is here!”
—Mrs. Emily Huntington Miller.
