THE GLAD NEWS
THERE ARE RINGS OF BLUE ROUND THE CHERRY-TREE,
THERE‘S BLUE ABOVE EACH BOUGH;
IN THE WAKING WOODS THERE‘S A SONG OF THE SEA
FOR THE WINDS PLAY NOW.
THERE IS GREAT DISCUSSION BELOW THE EAVES -
NESTLINGS ARE MAKING PLANS;
THERE‘S A BLOOM OF GREEN WHERE THE AUTUMN SHEAVES
WILL SPREAD INTO FANS.
THERE ARE FAIRIES WHISPERING UNDER THE EARTH -
YOU‘LL HEAR THEM IF YOU CHOOSE;
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE YOUNG SPRING‘S BIRTH -
HARK THE GLAD, GLAD NEWS!
