Today I matched my heart with Spring—
We sang together,
I, in a faint song
That only a soul could hear;
Spring sang in showers and
A rainbow hung with dew.
She tossed wild flowers
In my wake,
And waved the grasses
At my feet;
And the birds in the sky
Cried to the bees that spun
Across the sun;
And a tree-lulled tune caught my ear,
And I could hear:

"Hearken!" sang the breeze-song,
"Snows melt from the mountains ...
Rivers plunge with the dying storm,
I cannot leave off singing.
My heart thrills with its song.
Mine is the song of a season!
Spring! Spring! Spring!
Spring at last is come!"

My heart is glad today;
The meadows ring with joy,
And say—
"Skies, clear and blue,
Are calling back to you,
You dreamers and lovers!
Awaken and come!
Come, come, come!
Sing with Spring!
Let us match our hearts together!"
