BIRDS among the budding trees,
Blossoms on the ringing ground:

Violet-odors hither flung;
And the violet curved her throat,
Just as if she sat and sung.

And the violet curved her throat,
Just as if she sat and sung.
Dandelions dressed in gold,
Give out echoes clear and loud,
To the oriole's story, told
With gay poise and gesture proud.

To the oriole's story, told
With gay poise and gesture proud.
And the swaying yellow-bird,
Trilling, thrills their hollow stems,
