VER

The spring is riding through the sky:
[O Ver!]
Would I were fleet of wing
To ride with her.

She is strong; she has breathed no sigh:
[O Ver!]
To think of the violets
Asleep with her!

Far from valley and primrose-croft,
[O Ver!]
In the wilderness, high,
She cradleth her.

She is mild, she is lulling soft:
[O Ver!]
The clouds so far below
And the joy of her!
