First Line: The yellow-green of little trees
Last Line: Then summer's only talk.
Subject(s): Spring; Trees
The yellow-green of little trees
Is like a magic song;
They sway and tremble, sweet, young things,
They will not tremble long;
For see! the shadows lengthen
Along my flagstone walk,
If this is really springtime,
Then summer's only talk.
