A Breath of Spring

I felt the breath of spring today

I heard her tiptoe by,

Passing where Winter's snow still lay

I heard her whispering sigh.


I noticed the woods where she had been

Conspiring with the breeze

To stealthily cast her mantle of green

Over the bare, dark trees.


I heard her rehearsing quivering notes

For the wooing birds to thrill

So the sound that pour from the warbling throats

Make music sweet and shrill.


Oh come, like me you must have seen,

Tho' Winters snow still lies,

Touches where lovely Spring has been

Taking Winter by surprise.
