Spring Poems Gentle spring has come at last With birds and pretty Howersg Dreary old winter has gone with his blast, And the violets refreshed with soft showers, Now all the earth seems fresh and new, While sings the bird of heaven's own hue. -Beatrire Ru! Flowers, flowers, come out of the earth, For springtime is here and all is mirth, Come, pretty Crocus, so soft and white, Come, it is time to greet the light! Up in the tree tops the robin is swinging, Up from the earth the bluebell is springing, Out of the hive the bees are humming, N H. The ground again has turned to green, And dandelions may oft be seen, The violets in a shady nook, The daisy's bending o'er a brook, Gay tulip's in a Hower bed, And robin's here with breast so red! -Gertrude Milla 1' I love the bluebells that bloom in the spring, I love the bluebirds that sweetly sing, The buttercups golden, the dandelion yellow, And robin red breast with song so mellow.
