Premature Spring.

Topics: classic

Days full of rapture,     Are ye renew'd ?     Smile in the sunlight     Mountain and wood?     Streams richer laden     Flow through the dale,     Are these the meadows?     Is this the vale?     Coolness cerulean!     Heaven and height!     Fish crowd the ocean,     Golden and bright.     Birds of gay plumage     Sport in the grove,     Heavenly numbers     Singing above.     Under the verdure's     Vigorous bloom,     Bees, softly bumming,     Juices consume.     Gentle disturbance     Quivers in air,     Sleep-causing fragrance,     Motion so fair.     Soon with more power     Rises the breeze,     Then in a moment     Dies in the trees.     But to the bosom     Comes it again.     Aid me, ye Muses,     Bliss to sustain!     Say what has happen'd     Since yester e'en?     Oh, ye fair sisters,     Her I have seen!
