Where the bird singeth, and the yellow bee,

And the breeze talketh from the airy tree.

Now is that glorious resurrection time

When all earth’s buried beauties have new birth!

Behold the yearly miracle complete,—

God hath created a new heaven and earth!

Hast thou no time for all this wondrous show,—

No thought to spare? Wilt thou forever be

With thy last year’s dry flower-stalk and dead leaves,

And no new shoot or blossom on thy tree?
