Don't you see the flowers I bring?
Don't you hear the insects hum?
Don't you hear glad voices ring—
"Spring is coming! Spring is come!"



WEARY FOR THE SIGHT OF YOU.
I am weary, love, I'm weary, weary for the sight of you;
The world is dreary, dreary, missing the light of you.
For I miss you, dear, I miss you, from twilight till the dawn,
And in my dreams I kiss you, then I wake and find you gone.

I am weeping, love, I'm weeping, weeping just because you're gone;
And the hours go slowly creeping from the twilight till the dawn.
Yes the hours creep so slowly from the dawn until the night,
And I miss your presence holy, in the dark as in the light.



DAY.
There's a light in the sky.
And a breath in the air;
God's all-seeing eye
Is present everywhere.
There is dew on the grass;
There is frost on the com;
The sky gleams like brass;
A new day is born.
