How strange to greet this frosty morn	A
In graceful counterfeit of flower	B
These children of the meadows born	A
Of sunshine and of showers	C
	-
How well the conscious wood retains	D
The pictures of its flower sown home	E
The lights and shades the purple stains	D
And golden hues of bloom	F
	-
It was a happy thought to bring	G
To the dark season's frost and rime	F
This painted memory of spring	G
This dream of summertime	F
	-
Our hearts are lighter for its sake	H
Our fancy's age renews its youth	I
And dim remembered fictions take	H
The guise of present truth	I
	-
A wizard of the Merrimac	J
So old ancestral legends say	K
Could call green leaf and blossom back	J
To frosted stem and spray	K
	-
The dry logs of the cottage wall	L
Beneath his touch put out their leaves	M
The clay bound swallow at his call	L
Played round the icy eaves	M
	-
The settler saw his oaken flail	N
Take bud and bloom before his eyes	O
From frozen pools he saw the pale	N
Sweet summer lilies rise	O
	-
To their old homes by man profaned	P
Came the sad dryads exiled long	Q
And through their leafy tongues complained	P
Of household use and wrong	Q
	-
The beechen platter sprouted wild	P
The pipkin wore its old time green	R
The cradle o'er the sleeping child	P
Became a leafy screen	R
	-
Haply our gentle friend hath met	P
While wandering in her sylvan quest	P
Haunting his native woodlands yet	P
That Druid of the West	P
	-
And while the dew on leaf and flower	B
Glistened in the moonlight clear and still	S
Learned the dusk wizard's spell of power	B
And caught his trick of skill	S
	-
But welcome be it new or old	P
The gift which makes the day more bright	P
And paints upon the ground of cold	P
And darkness warmth and light	P
	-
Without is neither gold nor green	R
Within for birds the birch logs sing	G
Yet summer like we sit between	R
The autumn and the spring	G
	-
The one with bridal blush of rose	T
And sweetest breath of woodland balm	F
And one whose matron lips unclose	T
In smiles of saintly calm	F
	-
Fill soft and deep O winter snow	U
The sweet azalea's oaken dells	T
And hide the banks where roses blow	U
And swing the azure bells	T
	-
O'erlay the amber violet's leaves	T
The purple aster's brookside home	F
Guard all the flowers her pencil gives	T
A live beyond their bloom	F
	-
And she when spring comes round again	V
By greening slope and singing flood	P
Shall wander seeking not in vain	W
Her darlings of the wood	P
