SPRING RAPTURE, by                    
First Line: For long has the earth been sleeping
Last Line: Till it reaches the blue dome of the sky.
Subject(s): Spring


For long has the earth been sleeping
Under a coverlet of snow,
While we mortals a vigil were keeping
Where the wolf stalks to and fro.

But spring in her splendor is spreading
Beauty untold o'er the land,
Sparkling jewels she is sharing
Now with a lavish hand.

We bask in the gold of her sunshine
And marvel at the song birds call;
We humbly worship at her shrine
Where the spirit transcends all.

The incense coming up from her altars
Shall carry our prayers on high
With a purpose that never falters
Till it reaches the blue dome of the sky.
