SPRING 
Spring came. today! 
How do J know? Why, say— 
When the wind blows warm 
And the smoke hangs low, 
When willow twigs glisten 
Near the dogwood’s red glow; 
When the sky is clear blue 
And the sun shines bright, 
I just know Spring is here! 
Don’t you think I am right? 
Spring came today! 
How do J know? Why, say— 
When the Robin’s clear call 
Sounds from far and near; 
When the Red Wing whistles, 
lam bere? seam here. 
When the Wild Geese fly high 
Toward the frozen North, 
I just know Spring is here 
When Pussy Willows burst forth! 
Spring came today! 
How do J know? Why, say— 
When the grass grows green 
And a faint perfume 
From the sodden earth 
Seems to scent the room, 
When the maple sap drips 
And the lilac buds swell, 
I just kvow it is Spring! 
Do you s’pose I can’t tell?
