Gazing at the vastness round him. All was still, . . . As though all living things Were waiting, breathless. For the wheel of time to turn again. Then ... up from the valley. With the softest sigh, A breeze whispered . . . Spring . The sun broke over my realm. With all the brilliance. And power of its command; And the thrilling notes of all nature. Blended with the sun's glory. To shout ethereal gladness In one song, . . .
