TWO SPRINGS, by CLAUDE WEIMER

Subject(s): Spring
First Line: The spring a laddie whistled
Last Line: The tunes a laddie knew.
Subject(s): Spring
The spring a laddie whistled
To greet the dawn there stirred
A wind through the leafy branches,
And singing joy was heard.
The flowers were jewels of magic
With peace on every hand,
The spring a laddie whistled
Across the hilly land.
Another spring; another
Resplendent dawn is seen.
Once more the birds are singing;
Once more the hills are green.
But battlefields grow crosses
Where last year's flowers grew,
And the whistling winds now echo
The tunes a laddie knew.
