ECHOES OF SPRING: 7, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Oh, soft sweet air of early spring
Last Line: I'd like to lay me down and die.
Alternate Author Name(s): Lake, Claude
Subject(s): Grief; Spring; Sorrow; Sadness


Oh, soft sweet air of early spring,
Again thou float'st on viewless wing,
Coax'st snowdrops their white bells to ring,
And wak'st the blackbird up to sing.

Again, upon the bright'ning lea,
Beneath the budding bursting tree,
The toddling baby-mites I see,
Skip, jump, and frisk in lamb-like glee.

But I am sad, I know not why;
My breast heaves with the long-drawn sigh;
The tear rounds slowly in mine eye;
I'd like to lay me down and die.
