[How welcome & sweet is springs infant dawning]
How welcome & sweet is springs infant dawning
The Elder as witness puts out her broad leaves
The Robin sweet tutles his hymn to the morning
& sparrows are chirping their joy in the eaves
The Elder as witness puts out her broad leaves
The Robin sweet tutles his hymn to the morning
& sparrows are chirping their joy in the eaves
O sweet shines the sun on the wakening morning
O rich the young landscip his lustre displays
& sweet his first smile on the crocus flower dawning
Whose borrowd pride shines dizend out in his rays
O rich the young landscip his lustre displays
& sweet his first smile on the crocus flower dawning
Whose borrowd pride shines dizend out in his rays
