Spring came out of the woodland chase	A
With her violet eyes and her primrose face	A
With an iris scarf for her sole apparel	B
And a voice as blithe as a blackbird's carol	B
	-
As she flitted by garth and slipped through glade	C
Her light limbs winnowed the wind and made	C
The gold of the pollened palm to float	D
On her budding bosom and dimpled throat	D
	-
Then brushing the nut sweet gorse she sped	E
Where the runnel lisps in its reedy bed	E
O'er shepherded pasture and crested fallow	F
And buskined her thigh with strips of sallow	F
	-
By the marigold marsh she paused to twist	G
The gold green coils round her blue veined wrist	G
And out of the water bed scooped the cresses	H
And frolicked them round her braidless tresses	I
	-
She passed by the hazel dell and lifted	J
The coverlet fern where the snow had drifted	J
To see if it there still lingered on	K
Then shook the catkins and laughed 'Tis gone '	-
	-
Through the crimson tips of the wintry brake	L
She peeped and shouted Awake Awake '	-
And over the hill and down the hollow	F
She called I have come So follow follow '	-
	-
Then the windflower looked through the crumbling mould	M
And the celandine opened its eyes of gold	M
And the primrose sallied from chestnut shade	C
And carried the common and stormed the glade	C
	-
In sheltered orchard and windy heath	N
The dauntless daffodils slipped their sheath	N
And glittering close in clump and cluster	O
Dared norland tempests to blow and bluster	O
	-
Round crouching cottage and soaring castle	F
The larch unravelled its bright green tassel	F
In scrub and hedgerow the blackthorn flowered	P
And laughed at the May for a lagging coward	P
	-
Then tenderly ringing old Winter's knell	F
The hyacinth swung its soundless bell	F
And over and under and through and through	Q
The copses there shimmered a sea of blue	Q
	-
Like a sunny shadow of cloudlet fleeting	R
Spring skimmed the pastures where lambs were bleating	R
Along with them gambolled by bole and mound	S
And raced and chased with them round and round	S
	-
To the cuckoo she called Why lag you now	T
The woodpecker nests in the rotten bough	T
The song thrush pipes to his brooding mate	U
And the thistlefinch pairs you alone are late '	-
	-
Then over the seasonless sea he came	V
And jocundly answered her name for name	V
And falsely flitting from copse to cover	O
Made musical mock of the jilted lover	O
	-
But with him there came the faithful bird	P
That lives with the stars and is nightly heard	P
When the husht babe dimples the mother's breast	W
And Spring said sighing I love you best	W
	-
For sweet is the sorrow that sobs in song	R
When Love is stronger than Death is strong	R
And the vanished Past a more living thing	R
Than the fleeting voice and the fickle wing '	-
	-
Then the meadows grew golden the lawns grew white	X
And the poet lark sang himself out of sight	X
And English maidens and English lanes	Y
Were serenaded by endless strains	Y
	-
The hawthorn put on her bridal veil	F
And milk splashed foaming in pan and pail	F
The swain and his sweeting met and kissed	G
And the air and the sky were amethyst	G
	-
Now scythes are whetted and roses blow '	-
Spring carolling said It is time to go '	-
And though we called to her Stay O stay '	-
She smiled through a rainbow and passed away	Z
