The springtime’s pallid landscape
Will glow like bright bouquet,
Though drifted deep in parian
The village lies to-day.

The lilacs, bending many a year,
With purple load will hang;
The bees will not forget the tune
Their old forefathers sang.

The rose will redden in the bog,
The aster on the hill
Her everlasting fashion set,
And covenant gentians frill,

Till summer folds her miracle
As women do their gown,
Or priests adjust the symbols
When sacrament is done.

These are the days when skies put onThe old, old sophistries of June, –A blue and gold mistake. Oh, fraud that cannot cheat the bee,Almost thy plausibilityInduces my belief, Till ranks of seeds their witness bear,And softly [...]...
