EVENING SONGS

Spring fluttered in from distant lands
To fill the world with yearning . . .
All hastened forth to greet the sun
From its lengthy dream returning.

The finches flew from out their nests
The children from each shanty,
Bright colored flowers in the fields
Exhaled their scented plenty.

Upon each branch new leaves push forth,
While the song birds chirp above
In every youthful, joyous heart
Sprout tender buds of love.
