SYLVIA IN THE SPRINGTIME by CLINTON SCOLLARD

First Line: VOICE OF THE YOUTH OF THE YEAR
Last Line: OH, TO SEE SYLVIA'S FACE!
Subject(s): BEAUTY; SINGING & SINGERS; YOUTH;

VOICE of the youth of the year,
Wren-song and thrush-song and cuckoo-note clear!
Melody's core, the articulate soul of the Spring, --
Oh, to hear Sylvia sing!

Flower of the youth of the year,
Bell of the hyacinth, daffodil-spear!
Day-dream of beauty and veriest vision of grace, --
Oh, to see Sylvia's face!
