If on the day when Spring's green girlishness

Grew nubile, and she trembled into May,

And our Miranda climbed to clasp the Spring

A-tiptoe o'er the sea, those wafts of warmth,

Those cloudlets scudding under the bare blue,

And all that new sun, that fresh hope about

His airy place of observation,—friend,

Feel with me that if just then, just for once,

Some angel,—such as the authentic pen

Yonder records a daily visitant
