A SPRING LAMENT by LOUIS JONES MAGEE

First Line: THE SPRING IS COME; WARM BREEZES BLOW
Last Line: THE SPRING IS COME.
Subject(s): LAMENT; SPRING;

THE spring is come; warm breezes blow;
It doesn't make me happy, tho'; --
For seasons' changes only bring
To me the pain of ordering
Another suit. Style changes so!

This hat I'll hardly dare to show
Near "Easter bonnets;" it's too low;
I fear I must be purchasing;
The spring is come.

I'm glad to have the winter go;
I don't like ice, I don't like snow.
Green fields, bright flowers, and birds to sing,
Of course I like that sort of thing;
But still -- it makes me blue to know
The spring is come.
