Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 222, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 September 1911 — Primavera Mia. [ARTICLE]

Primavera Mia.

As kings who see their life-day pass. Take off the heavy ermine and the crown. So had the trees that autumn-time laid down V Their golden garments on the faded grass. When I. who watched the season in the glass Of mine own thoughts, saw all the autumn's brown Leap into life and don a sunny gown Of leafage such os happy April has. Great spring came singing upward from the south; / Fot in my heart, far carried off the wind. Tour words like winged seeds took root and grew, ' And all the world caught music from your mouth; ■ I saw the light as one who had been blind. And knew toy sun and song and spring were you. —Sara Teasdale, Th the International.
