THE RETURN OF SPRING.
The song of spring returns! And ev'ry lovely thing For which my weary spirit yearns Is sweetly blossoming.
And in the waves' low tone, In their awaken'd flow, The welcome voice of joys long gone, Doth whisper sad and low.
And every sound doth find An answ'ring echo still; Sweet music breathes upon the wind And echoes o'er the hill.
The waters soft reply, And flow'rs and sunny trees All gently answer every sigh That floats upon the breeze.
And while all nature sings, And all around is fair, Oh, may the joy this season brings Dispel each earth-born care!
