NOW the earth in fields and hills	A
Stirs with pulses of the Spring	B
Next embowering hedges ring	B
With interminable trills	A
Sunlight runs a race with rain	C
All the world grows young again	D
	-
Young as at the hour of birth	E
From the grass the daisies rise	A
With the dew upon their eyes	A
Sun awakened eyes of earth	E
Fields are set with cups of gold	F
Can this budding world grow old	F
	-
Can the world grow old and sere	G
Now when ruddy tasselled trees	A
Stoop to every passing breeze	A
Rustling in their silken gear	G
Now when blossoms pink and white	H
Have their own terrestrial light	H
	-
Brooding light falls soft and warm	I
Where in many a wind rocked nest	J
Curled up 'neath the she bird's breast	J
Clustering eggs are hid from harm	K
While the mellow throated thrush	L
Warbles in the purpling bush	M
	-
Misty purple bathes the Spring	B
Swallows flashing here and there	N
Float and dive on waves of air	N
And make love upon the wing	B
Crocus buds in sheaths of gold	F
Burst like sunbeams from the mould	F
	-
Chestnut leaflets burst their buds	A
Perching tiptoe on each spray	O
Springing toward the radiant day	O
As the bland pacific floods	A
Of the generative sun	P
All the teeming earth o'errun	P
	-
Can this earth run o'er with beauty	Q
Laugh through leaf and flower and grain	P
While in close pent court and lane	P
In the air so thick and sooty	Q
Little ones pace to and fro	R
Weighted with their parents' woe	R
	-
Woe predestined little ones	A
Putting forth their buds of life	S
In an atmosphere of strife	S
And crime breeding ignorance	A
Where the bitter surge of care	N
Freezes to a dull despair	N
	-
Dull despair and misery	Q
Lie about them from their birth	E
Ugly curses uglier mirth	E
Are their earliest lullaby	T
Fathers have they without name	U
Mothers crushed by want and shame	U
	-
Brutish overburthened mothers	A
With their hungry children cast	V
Half nude to the nipping blast	V
Little sisters with their brothers	A
Dragging in their arms all day	O
Children nigh as big as they	O
	-
Children mothered by the street	W
Shouting flouting roaring after	X
Passers by with gibes and laughter	X
Diving between horses' feet	W
In and out of drays and barrows	A
Recklessly like London sparrows	A
	-
Mudlarks of our slums and alleys	A
All unconscious of the blooming	B
World behind those housetops looming	B
Of the happy fields and valleys	A
Of the miracle of Spring	B
With its boundless blossoming	B
	-
Blossoms of humanity	Q
Poor soiled blossoms in the dust	Y
Through the thick defiling crust	Y
Of soul stifling poverty	Q
In your features may be traced	Z
Childhood's beauty half effaced	Z
	-
Childhood stunted in the shadow	Z
Of the light debarring walls	A
Not for you the cuckoo calls	A
O'er the silver threaded meadow	Z
Not for you the lark on high	T
Pours his music from the sky	T
	-
Ah you have your music too	Z
And come flocking round that player	X
Grinding at his organ there	N
Summer eyed and swart of hue	Z
Rattling off his well worn tune	P
On this April afternoon	P
	-
Lovely April lights of pleasure	X
Flit o'er want beclouded features	A
Of these little outcast creatures	A
As they swing with rhythmic measure	X
In the courage of their rags	A
Lightly o'er the slippery flags	A
	-
Little footfalls lightly glancing	B
In a luxury of motion	P
Supple as the waves of ocean	P
In your elemental dancing	B
How you fly and wheel and spin	P
For your hearts too dance within	P
	-
Dance along with mirth and laughter	X
Buoyant fearless and elate	Z
Dancing in the teeth of fate	Z
Ignorant of your hereafter	X
That with all its tragic glooms	A
Blindly on your future looms	A
	-
Past and future hence away	O
Joy diffused throughout the earth	E
Centre in this moment's mirth	E
Of ecstatic holiday	O
Once in all their lives' dark story	Q
Touch them Fate with April glory	Q
