SPRING 



''And the Spring arose on the garden fair, 

 Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere ; 

 And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast 

 Rose from the dreams of its wintry rest. 



. 



The snowdrop, and then the violet, 

 Arose from the ground with warm rain wet, 

 And their breath was mix'd with fresh odour, sent 

 From the turf, like the voice and the instrument" 



SHELLEY.
