Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CAC ADAD EAEA FGHG IJIJAKAK ADAD| Hail little herald Art thou then returning | A |
| From summer lands this wild and wind torn day | B |
| Hast brought the word for which our hearts are yearning | A |
| That spring is on the way | B |
| Hark Now there comes a clear insistent calling | A |
| - | |
| From hill tops crested with untarnished snow | C |
| The trumpet notes are drifting floating falling | A |
| Whene'er the breezes blow | C |
| - | |
| Winter is over and the spring is coming | A |
| Glad is thy message little page in black | D |
| Winter is over and the spring is coming | A |
| The spring is coming back | D |
| - | |
| Tell me prophet bird of sombre feather | E |
| Who taught thee all the mysteries of spring | A |
| Didst note each passing mood of wind and weather | E |
| While flying to the North on buoyant wing | A |
| - | |
| Or didst thou rest upon the bare brown branches | F |
| And hear the sap go singing through the trees | G |
| Didst watch with keen far seeing downward glances | H |
| The leaves unlock their cells with fairy keys | G |
| - | |
| What though thy voice hath not a trace of sweetness | I |
| It thrills one through and through | J |
| With promises of Joy in all completeness | I |
| What time the skies are blue | J |
| When robins from the apple trees are flinging | A |
| Out on the air their silver shower of song | K |
| In lilac days when children run a singing | A |
| No single thought shall do thy memory wrong | K |
| - | |
| Winter is over and the spring is coming | A |
| Sweet are thy tidings little page in black | D |
| Winter is over and the spring is coming | A |
| The spring is coming back | D |
