Of Laughter and of Cupid, the God-Boy;

Buds bursting on the bough in welcoming

To Her we Love, whose loving will not cloy!

List! from the organ rippling in the Street

Come sounds rejoicing, glad Her reign to greet.

The Shad is smiling in the Market Place

And eke the Little Neck! Ah—Life is Sweet!

Come, let us lilt a Merry Little Song

And in an Automobile glide along

Into the glory of the Year's new Birth.
