A robin sings upoo the fence, *
A bluebird flashes by;

A fragment from the sky.
The leaf buds on the maple swell
A little every, day,
The' willow's making baby caps
Of soft and furry gray.
'Twixt north and BOuth the weather
vane
Of f.ckle fancy veers.
The icicles begin, to drip •
Old Winter's frozen tears,
And oulsing with, returning life
The brown, earth, one by one,
Puts cff her seven veils of snow,
And dancea to the sua.
