| ←Any Poet to his Mistress | Littell's Living Age by Volume 129, Issue 1665 : Spring is Coming |
By the bursting of the leaves,
By the lengthening of the eves, —
Spring is coming.
By the flowers that scent the air,
By the skies more blue and fair,
By the singing everywhere, —
Spring is coming.
All the woods and fields rejoice, —
Spring is coming.
Only here and there a voice —
Here of buds the worm has worn,
Here of birds whose nest is torn;
There of those whose life is pent
Far from pleasant sight and scent —
Wails, as if their lifes distress
Won a new, wild bitterness; —
Spring is coming.
