Subject(s): Children; Spring; Childhood
"IT IS going to clear!" said the thrush to the jay,
"There's a hole in the clouds and the suns coming through,"
And "Look how the grey is all patterned with blue,
Oh, it's going to clear!" trilled the bob-o-link gay.
The rush by the river shook lightly its spear,
The shining trees shivered the rain-drops away
And, high o'er the billowing, sweet-smelling hay,
A meadow-lark sang "It is going to clear!"
