Primavera Mia.

As kings who see their Ufe-d&y pass, Take off the heavy ermine and the crown. So had the trees that autumn-time laid down r 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 brpwn Leap into life and don a sunny gown Of leafage such as happy April has. Great spring came singing upward from •‘ the south; For In my heart, far carried on the wind. Your 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 my sun and song and spring were you. ' ' .< —Sara Teasdale, th the International.
