SPRING AGAIN by EFFIE WALLER SMITH

First Line: SPRING, WITH ALL HER SPLENDOR
Last Line: NOW RINGS THE FOREST OVER.
Subject(s): SPRING;

Spring, with all her splendor,
With all her merry train,
Her birds, her flowers, her sunshine,
Has returned to us again.

On lowly, sloping valleys
The plowman turns the sod;
Th' dogwood, white with blossoms, gleams
Beside the golden-rod.

Th' sheep and cattle, peaceful,
On hill-side pastures stray,
Where spring the dandelions.
And buttercups so gay.

Th' martins, back from Southland
Have nested near the door;
The song of happy bluebirds
Now rings the forest over.
