Dimly and dumbly under the ground	A
Groping the walls of their prison round	A
The roots of the aged and garrulous trees	B
Are sending electrical messages	C
From the under world to the world without	D
And quickening pulses that course in each	E
Fettered and bound and frozen thing	F
Rootlets that tremble and fibres that reach	E
Are pushing inanimate fingers out	D
To ask further inarticulate speech	E
For tidings of Spring	F
	-
And the fine invisible sprite which dwells	G
In cups and discs in blossoms and bells	G
Fleeter than Ariel's wing hath flown	H
Beyond this cloudy and frozen zone	H
To the summer land of the South	I
Beyond those rugged sentinels	J
Which winter seta in the snow capped hills	K
From the breath of whose cruel mouth	I
Sighing the leaves in forest and wold	L
Shivered and died in the nights a'cold	L
Died and were buried under the snow	M
Long moons ago	M
	-
Now over the tropic's broad ellipse	N
The sprite hath passed as fleet and fast	O
As the light of falling stars that cast	O
A sudden radiance and eclipse	N
And all the buds that are folded close	P
As the inner leaves of an unblown rose	Q
In bulb or cone or scale or sheath	R
And sealed with the odorous gums that breathe	S
Like the breath of the singing and sighing pine	T
When the dews are falling at evening time	U
Through cone and sheath and bulb and scale	V
Tremble and cry All hail	V
	-
And look where a rosier beam hath cleft	W
The damp and fragrant smelling earth	X
A handful of snow drops peeping forth	Y
As if King Winter had dropped and left	W
Stumbling and tripping the steep hills down	Z
Had clutched his robe and dropped his crown	Z
Or as if the very snow had power	A2
Out of itself to fashion a flower	A2
So vase like slender and exquisite	B2
Like an alabaster lamp alit	B2
	-
And shining with a sea green light	B2
As if it had but newly come	C2
Up from some subterranean palace	D2
The haunt of fairy or of gnome	E2
With its waxen taper still alight	B2
And beaming in its leafy chalice	F2
That lit the revellers down below	M
When the nights were long and the moon was low	M
You might have heard far off and sweet	B2
The sound of the elfin revelries	F2
Like a bugle strain blown over seas	F2
And the patter and beat of dancing feet	B2
If you had been like me awake	G2
What time the Great Bear seems to shake	G2
Down through the trackless realms of air	H2
Frost lances from his shaggy hair	H2
And all around beneath across	F2
The round globe lies stabbed through with frost	B2
	-
Now the touches of the sun	I2
Like some potent alchemist	B2
In heat and dews in rain and mist	B2
As in a subtle menstruum	E2
Hath dissolved the icy charm	E2
And laid on that cold breast of hers	F2
Nature's breast that faintly stirs	F2
With his fragrant kisses warm	E2
Sweet as myrrh and cinnamon	I2
Snow drops spring's bright harbingers	F2
First born children of the sun	I2
	-
Like a sudden burst of leaf and bloom	E2
The sun shines redly through the gloom	E2
And the wind with its many melodies	F2
Hath a murmurous sound like the noise of bees	F2
Singing and humming blowing and growing	F
Of springing blade and of fountain flowing	F
And night and silence under the ground	B2
Listen and thrill and move to the sound	B2
And answer Spring is coming	F
