A RUSSIAN SPRING SONG WITH MINAIEV, by                    
First Line: She softly droops her maiden eyes
Last Line: For him, sweet blossomings and death.
Alternate Author Name(s): Gill, Roderick; Strange, Garrett
Subject(s): Spring


She softly droops her maiden eyes
Behind the casement ledge at home,
And ever and anon she sighs --
'Ah, if the Spring would only come!'

Another on his bed of pain
With hope of health and sunshine near,
Warms his faint heart with like refrain, --
'Ah, if the Spring were only here!'

And soon the Spring with flower and dove
Brings each a portion on its breath: --
For her, sweet blossomings and love;
For him, sweet blossomings and death.
