Spring's real glory dwells not in the meaning,

Gracious though it be, of her blue hours;

But is hidden in her tender leaning

To the Summer's richer wealth of flowers.

Dawn is fair, because the mists fade slowly

Into day, which floods the world with light;

Twilight's mystery is so sweet and holy

Just because it ends in starry Night.

Childhood's smiles unconscious graces borrow
