O
Out of dumbness into song!
Though the earth was wintry white,
Though the cold stayed over long—
Spring, we loved so, it has come
Without any sound of drum.
Wandered far, and home once more;
Or a new babe, cradled here,
Born of life that went before—
Shyly bud and bloom anew,
Are content that all the Mays
Faithful are, steadfast and true.
