I Spring	A
	-
Allegro	B
Wake wake	C
Out of the snow and the mist	D
In rain wet wind blown gauze	E
Of amber and amethyst	D
Cometh Spring like a girl	F
Trembling and timorous	G
She peers through the thin white thaws	E
Afraid of the winds that whirl	F
Down paths all perilous	G
Where her so tender feet are softly going	A
Where the rich earth is awaiting her lavish sowing	A
Of green and purple and white	H
In the gardens of day and night	H
	-
Hither she comes	I
Oh lightly she wavers and lingers	J
The chill gray storm benumbs	J
Her lifted rose petal fingers	J
And looses her hair from its fillet of pearl	F
Her soft dew fringed eyes	J
The virginal eyes of a girl	F
Gaze at the foam veiled skies	J
Search for the sun who is hiding	A
His amorous glowing face	J
For the spirit of life now gliding	A
Unseen through every place	J
	-
Blown blown	K
Hither and yon	L
Dashed by the winds that groan	K
Lashed by the frost elves wan	L
Whipped by the envious ghosts of old years long gone	M
That chatter and sigh	N
Of the ruin nigh	N
Of death and darkness and sorrow that come anon	M
Yet bold and brave	O
She dares the young Spring to dance on that ancient grave	O
To dance with delicate feet	P
On the world's despair and defeat	P
On the Winter's ashen pall	Q
That covers all	R
	-
Look she lifts the cover	S
A corner of that frost film pall she lifts	J
Now Earth great hearted lover	S
Smiles upward through the dew bespangled rifts	J
And shining sunbeams pages of the day	T
Roll up the mantle bear it far away	T
Then the Earth laughs with pleasure	S
And tosses from her treasure	S
Store of blue crocuses and snow drops white	H
Glad trilliums that make the woodland bright	H
Rich arbutus and shadowy violets	J
Till caught in webs of bloom	U
Light footed Spring her stormy woe forgets	J
Forgets the cold the gloom	U
Blesses with errant grace	J
Each dim forgotten place	J
Of drooping leaves muffles the maples bare	V
In lilac veils covers with tenderness	J
The harsh brown world and then when all is won	M
Trails languorous dreams dreams exquisite and rare	V
And shrinking from the bold too fervid sun	M
Shyly gives over	S
Her royal lover	S
Like one afraid of love who will not stay	T
Love's perfect day	T
Lightly gives over	S
Inconstant rover	S
Her glad fresh garlanded world and like the dew	W
Sleeps in the blue	W
She tosses down	M
Her flowery crown	M
Into the lap of Summer	S
Glad newcomer	S
Smiling adorns her with treasure of growing things	J
And softly sings	J
Even while she fades in light	H
A wraith a mist	D
Of amethyst	D
A spirit a dream that goes	J
But whither who knows	J
	-
	-
II Summer	S
	-
Andante	T
Hus h hush Wake not the drowsy Summer she would dream	X
Heavy with growing things	J
Dance lightly where her beauty lies agleam	X
Under languidly folded wings	J
Over the delicate grasses	J
A breath a spirit passes	J
A song and the odor of bloom	U
Give way make room	U
The Summer has met her lover	S
By day by night	H
He has brought from the stars bright rover	S
Heaven's fire heaven's light	H
He has filled her with life that sleepeth	Y
That waits for birth	Y
As a jewel its bright fire keepeth	Y
In the rock bound earth	Y
	-
Softly slowly	Z
Dance and sway	T
While Summer dreameth	Y
The moons away	T
Full weary she seemeth	Y
Of love's deep bliss	J
But holy holy	Z
Love's memories	J
	-
The idle day is rich with budding things	J
Whereon the bold sun glares	J
Dance lightly lest you tread on folded wings	J
Of flight still unawares	J
Ah delicate your footfall be while ever	S
The seed grows in the corn	M
The bird in the egg the deed in the endeavor	S
The day in the morn	M
Deep in the pool the spawning fishes play	T
High in the air the bees buzz out their way	T
Everywhere	V
	-
The children of Summer come crowding in lustrous array	T
The myriad children of Summer beloved of the sun	M
Through the long hot noons they are glad of the world they have won	M
Bright and fair	V
They throng in the meadows and shake out the dew from their hair	V
They sing in the tree tops they dip in the slow flowing stream	X
They nod from the hills in the valleys their swift feet gleam	X
They kneel in the moonlight the bright stars hear their prayer	V
Everywhere	V
The high sun blesses them	A2
The moon confesses them	A2
Old Time with patient smile	B2
Harks to their hope awhile	B2
They are born they awake they arise now they dance in their bloom	U
For their revels of love and of wonder the earth makes room	U
Oh she harks to their song for a season she kisses their feet	P
She gives them her all for their hour be its joy complete	P
	-
The fecund Summer then	M
Covers her eyes again	M
Lies dreaming at rest	C2
Young mother of life who is feeding	A
The world at her breast	C2
Rich bride of the year ever needing	A
But love and light	H
To give and give more and give all	R
In her great love's might	H
Tread softly give heed to her call	R
Oh be still be fleet	P
Hush hush the sweet sound of your singing	A
Pause pause ye feet	P
Sink down she bids you rest	C2
Close on her breast	C2
Down down your rapture flinging	A
Where all her dreams are winging	A
Ah cease your quest	C2
Peace be blest	C2
Be blest	C2

III Autumn	M

Scherzo	J
Co me with me	Z
All that live	D2
Dance with me	Z
Love and give	E2
Give me your love ye souls of the corn and the vine	M
Dance with me laugh with me crowd me be mine be mine	M
Up from the earth in your splendor of scarlet and gold	F2
Haste oh make haste ere the warm rich year grow old	F2
Ye throngs that gaily rise	J
Multitudinous	J
As the red red leaves that flutter	S
All tremulous	J
When the wind rides down from the skies	J
Ye spirits that shout and mutter	S
In laughter in pain	M
When the year of her sowing and reaping	A
Would waste again	M
Come spend of your treasure full heaping	A
Be lavish be bold	F2
Cast your hope on the winds from your feet shake the dark damp mould	F2
Come dancing come shouting come leaping	A
Ere the earth grow cold	F2
	-
Come wings of the air come feet that trample the grasses	J
Come tree top spirits that kindle the leaves to flame	G2
Come sprites of the sea that shout when the gray storm passes	J
Come wraiths of the desert whom sorrow nor death may tame	G2
Come eat of the rich ripe fruit come drink of the vine	M
Come dance till your revels are drunken with joy with wine	M
For the labor is over and done	M
The spoil of the battle is won	M
Ah trample it scatter it	H2
Cast it afar	I2
The tempests will batter it	H2
On with the war	J2
Let your bright robes float let them whirl with the rush of your feet	P
The gauzes of crimson and gold	F2
Give your will to the winds they are chasing they haste they are fleet	P
They are eager and ruthless and bold	F2
On on till you circle the earth with the rush of your dancing	A
With the shout and the song	K2
Till your choral of crowds like a river in flood time advancing	A
Bears all things along	K2
Dance dance for the end comes soon	M
Do you feel the chill	L2
White winds of the Winter croon	M
From their cave in the hill	L2
Yes death and the end come soon	M
Spread your gaudy robes	J
Haste haste for the leaves are falling	A
Shout shout for the storms are calling	A
Give all for the year grows old	F2
And the world grows cold	F2

IV Winter	S
	-
Finale	Z
Fly fly	N
Gather your white robes close	J
Scuttle away	T
Look in the sky	N
The bleak winds mutter morose	J
To the swift dark day	T
They gather and threaten and scold	F2
They shiver and shriek in their rage	M2
They are ashen and icy and old	F2
Ah bitter the passion of age	M2
Flee from them haste haste	N2
Through the vengeful weather	S
Lest your red blood chill	L2
And your hearts stop still	L2
Crowd close together	S
And flee o'er the drear dead waste	N2
	-
Down down	M
Out of a sky all brown	M
The dark storm stoops to shrivel the world away	T
With ribald wind he strips her	S
With stinging sleet he whips her	S
With envious frost he withers her green to gray	T
Because she was gay and glad	O2
Beloved of many lovers fruitful mother	S
Of many children crowding and killing each other	S
Because she was wasteful mad	O2
Scattering and trampling her riches for death to smother	S
