In the Spring^Time 



Apple blossoms in the orchard, 

 Singing birds in every tree; 



Grass a-growing in the meadows 

 Just as green as green can be. 



Violets in shady places, 



Sweetest Bowers were ever seen ! 

 Hosts of starry dandelions, 



" Drops of gold among the green. 



BEE-HIVE STRUCK RT LIGHTNING.

an armful of bees. — (See page 292) 



Pale arbutus, fairy wind-flowers. 

 Innueents in smiling flocks; 

 Coolest ferns within the hollows. 

 Columbines among the rocks. 



Dripping streams, delicious mosses, 



Tassels on the maple trees; 

 Drowsy insects, humming, humming — 



Golden butterflies and bees. 



Daffodils in garden borders, 



Fiery tulips dashed with dew, 



Crocus flowers; and through the greenness, 

 Snowdrops looking out at you.
