With it come bright glories: Flowers, grass, and sunshine, too. Spring seems to tip its hat and say, A pleasant 'hello' to you. The robins in the treetops high Flutter to and fro. They sing their happy cheerful songs To all the world below. Always our first happy glimpse Comes when the robins sing. How could we ever get along, Without you, O happy Spring? Katherine Hobbs, '47
