Spring is Here

Spring is in the meadow

And spring is on the hill

And spring is in the crooning mouth

Of every daffodil

Spring is in the blossom

Garnishing fruit-tree

And spring is in the lark that sings

Before night drains its sea

Spring is in the muddy boy

A-splash in puddle-pool

And spring is in the golden joy

Falling from azure spool

Spring tickles the garden

And sparkles in the rain

It laughs in silver ribbons

All down my windowpane

Spring is in earth's alcove

And spring is in earth's breeze

And spring is in earth's blooming grove 

A-buzz with honey-bees
