From Year to Year

by Alice Cary

Excerpt from From Year to Year
From Year to Year.
When spring time comes across the hills,
In robes of modest beauty drest;
Nature through all her pulses thrills,
And smiles sweet welcome to her guest.
Gay blossoms weave their broidery through
The soft green carpet of the grass;
And pretty buds make haste to strew
The way her tender feet do pass.
The birds, shy poets of the woods,
That waited for her coming long,
Break up again the solitudes
With the glad music of their song.
And men and maidens with the flowers
Tell secrets never breathed in words,
As, walking through the leafy bowers,
They learn sweet lessons of the birds.
