First Line: The spring buds are bursting
Last Line: Are booming their bells.
Subject(s): Bells; Flowers; Spring
The spring buds are bursting,
Exploding their shells,
And I'm deaf with the booming
Of gold-pollened bells.
When the bell-ringing bees
On the tongues of the bells
Are a-swing in the wind
In the loud clanging dells,
Mad lovers come wooing
From gold-pollened bells
With wild, loud chanting,
With magic and spells,
Yet I hark, but I swoon,
And my white bosom swells,
Now the Great Regal Lilies
Are booming their bells.
