THE VOICE OF THE SPRING,
There's a voice on the river,
A voice in the vale,
In the leaflets that quiver
In the rush of the gale.
In forests, on mountains
Its music is heard
And silvery fountains
Awake at its word;
And feathery singers are out on the wing:
For nature revives at the voice of the spring.
'Awaken, awaken!
Leaf, river, and tree:
Your chains I have shaken,
Again ye are free;
Soon fountains shall be gushing
With musical streams,
And flowers be blushing,
With the bright hues of dreams.
And jewels of beauty on earth I will fling,
For nature shall bloom at the coming of spring.
There's life in the waters.
There's light in the skies;
Spring's flower-crowned daughters
In beauty arise;
O'er earth they are flinging
Their spells of delight,
And roses are springing
From the tears of the night;
There's a charm and a glory on earth's meanest thing
For nature blooms bright at the voice of the spring.
