“'Tis spring; come out to ramble The hilly brakes around, For under thorn and bramble About the hollow ground The primroses are found. And there's the windflower chilly With all the winds at play, And there's the Lenten lily That has not long to stay And dies on Easter day.”

“Through primrose tufts, in that green bower, The periwinkle trails its wreath; And 'tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes. The birds around me hopped and played, Their thoughts I cannot measure; But the least motion which they made, It seemed a thrill of pleasure. The budding twigs spread out their fan, To catch the breezy air; And I must think, do all I can That there was pleasure there. If this belief from heaven be sent, If such be Nature's holy plan, Have I not reason to lament What man has made of man?”

Ifs Thinking Men Made I Can Reason Belief Heaven Enjoy Pleasure Plans Air Fans Flower Holy Spring Bird Green Spread Breathe Made It Thrill Trails Lament Twigs Wreaths Breezy Periwinkle

“In spring when maple buds are red, We turn the clock an hour ahead; Which means, each April that arrives, We lose an hour out of our lives. Who cares? When autumn birds in flocks Fly southward, back we turn the clocks, And so regain a lovely thing That missing hour we lost in spring.”

Mean Care Turns Lost Hours Loses Our Lives Missing Spring Bird Red Lovely Clock Autumn Who Cares April Bud Flocks Maple Lovely Things
