GAY SPRING RETURNS, by                    
First Line: Gay spring returns, her glad face glowing
Last Line: Gay spring returns, her glad face glowing.
Subject(s): Nature; Spring


Gay Spring returns, her glad face glowing
With the winsome smile of a year ago,
And again in accents sweet and low
She murmurs of wilds where her blooms are growing.

She rustles the folds of her garments, showing
A splendor of draperies new; and so
Gay Spring returns, her glad face glowing
With the winsome smile of a year ago.

In her hand is a lilac bough o'erflowing
With billows of odorous bloom; but, oh!
Its green leaves lisp with a sense of woe,
For flowers must fade and Spring be going—
Gay Spring returns, her glad face glowing.
