Ere wild haws looming in the gloomsA
Build bolted drifts of breezy bloomsA
And in the whistling hollow thereB
The red bud bends as brown and bareB
As buxom Roxy's up stripped armC
From some gray hickory or larchD
Sighed o'er the sodden meads of MarchD
The sad heart thrills and reddens warmE
To hear you braving the rough stormE
Frail courier of green gathering powersA
Rebelling sap in trees and flowersA
Love's minister come heraldingF
O sweet saint voice among bleak bowersA
O brown red pursuivant of SpringF

'Moan' sob the woodland waters stillH
Down bloomless ledges of the hillH
And gray gaunt clouds like harpies hangI
In harpy heavens and swoop and clangI
Sharp beaks and talons of the windJ
Black scowl the forests and unkindJ
The far fields as the near while songK
Seems murdered and all beauty wrongK
One weak frog only in the thawL
Of spawny pools wakes cold and rawM
Expires a melancholy bassA
And stops as if bewildered thenN
Along the frowning wood againN
Flung in the thin wind's vulture faceA
From woolly tassels of the proudO
Red bannered maples long and loudO
'The Spring is come is here her Grace her Grace '-

'Her Grace the Spring her Grace her GraceA
Climbs beautiful and sunny browedO
Up up the kindling hills and wakesA
Blue berries in the berry brakesA
With fragrant flakes that blow and bleachP
Deep powders smothered quince and peachP
Eyes dogwoods with a thousand eyesA
Teaches each sod how to be wiseA
With twenty wildflowers to one weedQ
And kisses germs that they may seedQ
In purest purple and sweet whiteR
Treads up the happier hills of lightR
Bloom cloudy borne song in her hairB
And balm and beam of odorous airB
Winds her retainers and the rainsA
Her yeomen strong that sweep the plainsA
Her scarlet knights of dawn and goldS
Of eve her panoply unfoldS
Her herald tabarded beholdS
Awake to greet prepare to singF
She comes the darling Duchess Spring '-
