Alternate Author Name(s): Chandler, Ellen Louise
Subject(s): Spring


I FEEL the kindness of the lengthening days --
I warm me at the strong fire of the sun --
I know the year's glad course is well begun --
Ah, what awaits me in its devious ways?

What strange, new bliss shall thrill me with amaze?
What prize shall I rejoice that I have won?
I feel the kindness of the lengthening days --
I warm me at the strong fire of the sun.

Yet I behold the phantom that dismays --
The face of Grief that spares not any one --
Rewards come not until the task is done,
And there are minor chords in all earth's lays; --
Nay! Trust the kindness of the lengthening days --
I'll warm me at the strong fires of the sun.
