Subject(s): FORESTS; NATURE; SEASONS; SPRING; WOODS;

I

HOW joyous the Spring is!
How jocund the hours
When the call of the throstle
Awakens the flowers,
When the merry, mad squirrels
Their revels prolong,
And the aisles of the forest
Are ringing with song!

II

As the laughter of April
Enkindles the Spring,
As the song of the skylark
Is blithest on wing,
So stirs with new wonder
The heart of a maid,
When the first stars besprinkle
The daffodil glade.
