I know it isn't far to spring-though lots o' you will doubt it Because, around the eaves, the birds are talkin' all about it! The sparrows, in their coats brown, they keep up such a hummin' You'd think that spring.is round or on the comin'l But yesterday the snow lay white against my window shutter. When suddenly a speck oJ light set all their wings a-flutter! It seemed to me I almost heard their little hearts a-drummin', And, plain as day, they seemed to say: "The nestin' time is comin'!" And sure, they know each bird o' them the kindly God gave wings to; The God they hear in rustlin' leaves the God each songster sings to! Though man may think that wisdom dwells alone in his dominions, The birds they hear the heavenly bells, and brush the angels' pinions Then come, spring! from valleys dim from wintry hills and hazy, And teach the mocking bird his hymn, and whisper to the daisy And for these wintry spells that long in grief and gloom have bound us Give, us your birds and blooms and light that wraps God's love around us!
