LET IT BE SPRINGTIME, by                    
First Line: If privilege were mine to name the time
Last Line: Lull me to slumber while the day is young.
Subject(s): Birds; Spring


If privilege were mine to name the time
That Mother Earth should fold me to her breast,
It would be Spring, when roses wake and climb,
And morningtide, when birds forsake the nest.
What heart but thrills to Nature's matin song
That hails the birth of day with jubilee;
When God is choired by all His feathered throng
And lilting paeans rise from bush and tree!
Could season rival fragrant Spring to lie
Within my ancient Mother's close embrace,
Or time surpass the morn, when air and sky
Are eloquent with beauty's charm and grace?
Then let my requiem, in Springtime sung,
Lull me to slumber while the day is young.
