LESSON 4 SPRING SONG

SPRING SONG

SING out and be happy!

The spring is at hand,

The grass green, and sappy

The trees o' the land.

Sing! for the breeze is

Rustling and silky,

And toys with and teases

Long blossoms and milky.

Sing out! for the bees in

Their quest of wild honey

Are haunting the trees in

Green places and sunny.

Sing out! and let trouble

Another pursue:

It will burst like a bubble

And vanish for you.

—RODERIC QUINN
