SPRING COMES A-CALLING, by                    
First Line: Spring knocks at the door of the year and cries
Last Line: "I want to come in! I 've a song for you!"
Subject(s): Nature; Spring


Spring knocks at the door of the year and cries:
"I want to come in! I 've a song for you;
I 've a kirtle green and a bonnet blue,
And jewels of dew to dazzle your eyes.

"I know where the first shy violet lies
In its cradle of moss—and the May bloom, too!
I 've a basket full of the flowers you prize,
And fresh as the dawn when the world was new.

"I 've a charm that dropped from the autumn skies
Of the year agone, and with magic true
'T will gild the fields where the gold wheat grew,
And make you happy and wealthy and wise!"
Spring knocks at the door of the year and cries:
"I want to come in! I 've a song for you!"
