| Under the sky's gray arch | B |
| Smiling I watch the shaken elm boughs knowing | A |
| It is the wind of March | B |
| - | |
| Between the passing and the coming season | C |
| This stormy interlude | D |
| Gives to our winter wearied hearts a reason | C |
| For trustful gratitude | D |
| - | |
| Welcome to waiting ears its harsh forewarning | A |
| Of light and warmth to come | E |
| The longed for joy of Nature's Easter morning | A |
| The earth arisen in bloom | F |

| This roar of storm this sky so gray and lowering | A |
| Invite the airs of Spring | A |
| A warmer sunshine over fields of flowering | A |
| The bluebird's song and wing | A |
| - | |
| Closely behind the Gulf's warm breezes follow | I |
| This northern hurricane | C |
| And borne thereon the bobolink and swallow | I |
| Shall visit us again | C |
| - | |
| And in green wood paths in the kine fed pasture | J |
| And by the whispering rills | K |
| Shall flowers repeat the lesson of the Master | J |
| Taught on his Syrian hills | K |
| - | |
| Blow then wild wind thy roar shall end in singing | A |
| Thy chill in blossoming | A |
| Come like Bethesda's troubling angel bringing | A |
| The healing of the Spring | A |
