SPRING IN WELLESLEY, by                    
First Line: Again the promises of spring appear
Last Line: In wellesley now?
Subject(s): Spring; Wellesley College


AGAIN the promises of spring appear.
My heart goes back to those of yesteryear --
Do red wings flash when alder thickets blow
On Tupelo?

Oh, do the rhododendrons bud and break
In old time glory by the sparkling lake?
And do the ancient oaks crown every hill
In Wellesley still?

Are all the meadows bright with fairy gold,
And are the birches lovely as of old?
And is the hawthorne white upon the bough
In Wellesley now?
