Oh Winter! Away with thee!
Of cold and rain enough I’ve seen!
Yet, a purpose you do bring How we so hunger for a wondrous Spring All the more pleasant when she comes With a breeze less cold and a rose at dawn I see it now as in a dream A greensward sight, so pleasant a scene We patient ... may it not be long When comes again Spring’s Lovesong!
