SPRING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: What did spring-time whisper?
Last Line: Spring has come!
Subject(s): Nature; Spring


WHAT did Spring-time whisper?
O ye rivulets,
Waking from your trance so sad,
Pleased to welcome fisher-lad
With his little nets,
Speed, for summer's in the air,
Prattle, for the breeze is warm,
Chatter by the otter's lair,
Bubble past the ivied farm;
Wake the primrose on the banks,
Bid the violet ope her eyes,
Hurry in a flood of thanks
Underneath serener skies!
What a revel's coming soon—
Fairies trooping o'er the leas,
Making magic by the moon,
Crowned with wood anemones!
What a haunted heart the thrush
Nurses in the blackthorn bush,
Full of splendid songs to sing,
Cheery welcomes of the Spring—
Spring has come!
