| 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 |

| '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 ' | - |

| '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 ' | - |
