  	                    SPRING 

 1	    COME to thy bowers, sweet spring,
  	      And paint the gray, stark trees,
 3	    The bud, the leaf and wing — 
  	      Bring with thee brush and breeze. 

  	    And soft thy shading lay
 6	      On vale and woodland deep;
  	    With sunshine's lovely ray
  	      Light o'er the rugged steep. 

 9	    More softly warm and weave
  	      The patient, timid grass,
  	    Till heard at silvery eve
12	      Poor robin's lonely mass. 

  	    Bid faithful swallows come
  	      And build their cozy nests,
15	    Where wind nor storm can numb
  	      Their downy little breasts. 

  	    Come at the sad heart's call,
18	      To empty summer bowers,
  	    Where still and dead are all
  	      The vernal songs and flowers.

 1	    It may be months or years
  	      Since joyous spring was there. 
 3	    O come to clouds and tears
  	      With light and song and prayer!
