SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 7 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: ONCE MORE IN EVERY TREE-TOP
Last Line: CAMP-FOLLOWERS OF SPRING!
Subject(s): SPRING;

Once more in every tree-top
I hear the hollow wind
A-blowing the last remnants
Of winter from the land.
Far down the April morning,
With battle-clang and glee,
The Boreal intruders
Are driven to the sea.
Then softly, buds of scarlet,
Warm rain, and purple wing --
The tattered glad uncumbered
Camp-followers of spring!
