Show IN DANDELION TIME. H . SSv The skies have caught a deeper blue, jB The birds a sweeter song; m The willows wreathe themselves anew H In tender greens along Bf The winding brooks. The sheltered nooks B' Are bursting all ablaze B With stars untold of gleaming gold, S Jin dandelion days. B No song more limpid or more sweet m Than yonder bird's; no sheen H Like that of-grass beneath my teet m , Than emeralds more green. " , Bl Nopofter breeze e'er, stirred the trees t , B Than this, that gently sways j B The budding beech beyond my reach, In dandelion days. The song re-echoes in the heart, The breezes stir the blood; H Within the brain fresh iancies start, H And wake a nobler mood, I Viewed through the clear, pure atmosphere, I Life takes a loftier phase And seems possesed of keener zest I In dandelion days. H A magic spell rests on the year, And time has stayed its Might; m For long-lost springtides reappear H In pageants of delight. A child once more, I wander o'er m The meadow's starry maze, " H And life forgets its sharp reerets H In dandelion days. B Juria E. Goodwin in Springfield Republican. B |
