Build bolted drifts of breezy blooms | A |
And in the whistling hollow there | B |
The red bud bends as brown and bare | B |
As buxom Roxy's up stripped arm | C |
From some gray hickory or larch | D |
Sighed o'er the sodden meads of March | D |
The sad heart thrills and reddens warm | E |
To hear you braving the rough storm | E |
Frail courier of green gathering powers | A |
Rebelling sap in trees and flowers | A |
Love's minister come heralding | F |
O sweet saint voice among bleak bowers | A |
O brown red pursuivant of Spring | F |

II | G |

'Moan' sob the woodland waters still | H |
Down bloomless ledges of the hill | H |
And gray gaunt clouds like harpies hang | I |
In harpy heavens and swoop and clang | I |
Sharp beaks and talons of the wind | J |
Black scowl the forests and unkind | J |
The far fields as the near while song | K |
Seems murdered and all beauty wrong | K |
One weak frog only in the thaw | L |
Of spawny pools wakes cold and raw | M |
Expires a melancholy bass | A |
And stops as if bewildered then | N |
Along the frowning wood again | N |
Flung in the thin wind's vulture face | A |
From woolly tassels of the proud | O |
Red bannered maples long and loud | O |
'The Spring is come is here her Grace her Grace ' | - |

III | G |

'Her Grace the Spring her Grace her Grace | A |
Climbs beautiful and sunny browed | O |
Up up the kindling hills and wakes | A |
Blue berries in the berry brakes | A |
With fragrant flakes that blow and bleach | P |
Deep powders smothered quince and peach | P |
Eyes dogwoods with a thousand eyes | A |
Teaches each sod how to be wise | A |
With twenty wildflowers to one weed | Q |
And kisses germs that they may seed | Q |
In purest purple and sweet white | R |
Treads up the happier hills of light | R |
Bloom cloudy borne song in her hair | B |
And balm and beam of odorous air | B |
Winds her retainers and the rains | A |
Her yeomen strong that sweep the plains | A |
Her scarlet knights of dawn and gold | S |
Of eve her panoply unfold | S |
Her herald tabarded behold | S |
Awake to greet prepare to sing | F |
She comes the darling Duchess Spring ' | - |
