WHEN SPRING IS HERE, by                    
First Line: Not boys flying home-made kites
Last Line: Tell me it is spring.
Subject(s): Spring


Not boys flying home-made kites
With a ball of string,
Or whistles they have whittled
Tell me it is spring.
Not girls on roller skates
Rushing through the cold,
Not the early robin's call
As in springs of old.
But two old men passing by,
Each with bait and hook,
Talking, smiling as they go
To a singing brook.

Not the girls on roller skates,
Nor boys with kite and string,
But old men going fishing
Tell me it is spring.
