FAIRY SONG, by                    
First Line: Passing on a breeze, I swept
Last Line: To lighten spring's returning.
Subject(s): Spring


PASSING on a breeze, I swept
Through the portals of a bud,
Twas all hushed within—I crept,
Guided by a perfume's flood,
Through a dark rose gloom,
To a tiny room.

There I found a chanting sprite
Before a many-candled shrine,
Singing, "Flower-to-be! Swing light
Your petal gates—the sun must shine,
And set our candles burning,
To lighten Spring's returning.
