And the scent of the breeze quite plainly tells

He has been with the apple-blooms! They fly

From his kisses sly

Like feathery snow-flakes scurrying by!

O the saucy pranks of the madcap breeze

In the blossoming trees!

O the sounds that thrill, and the sights that please,

And the nameless joys that the May days bring

On their glad, glad wing!

O the dear delights of the sweet, sweet spring!
