Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 231, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 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 Their golden garments on the faded grass. When I, who watched the season in the 'glass '*V <'*' ■ Of mine own thoughts, saw all the autumn's brown T *.’?> 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, fair carried on tha wind, „• Your words like winged seeds took , root and grew. And all the world caught music from your • " mouth; ' I saw the light ap ope who bad been blind. And knew my sun and song and spring were you. —Sara Teasdale, Th the International.
