The Normal AdvanceVolume XIV. TERRE HAUTE, IND., MARCH, 1909. Number 6.Spring(FROM IN MEMORIAM)Dij) down upon the northern shore,O sweet new year, delaying long Thou dost expectant Nature wrong Delaying long, delay no more.What stays thee from the clouded noons,Thy sweetness from its proper place?Can trouble live with April days,Or sadness in the summer moons ?Bring orchis, bring the foxglove spire,The little speedwells darling blue,Deep tulips, dashed with fiery dew,Laburnums, dropping-wells of fire.O thou, New Year, delaying long,Delay est the sorrow in my blood,That longs to burst a frozen bud,And flood a fresher throat with song.Now fades the last long streak of snow Now bourgeons every maze of quickAbout the flowering squares, and thickBy ashen roots the violets blow.Now rings the woodland loud and long,The distance takes a lovelier hue And drowned in yonder living blue,The lark becomes a sightless song. |
