Return
written by: Edgar A Guest
The robins soon will call again,
And high upon the wall again
And up and down the window frames,
We’ll see the ivy creep.
It’s getting on to spring again.
The birds are on the wing again.
Old Mother Earth is yawning now
And stretching in her sleep.
The tulips red and white again
Will make a lovely sight again,
And in between the shrubbery
The daffodils will gleam.
The daisies soon will grow again
Wherever mortals go again
And flower and fern will grace the banks
Of every running stream.
The skies will soon be blue again.
The trees in garments new again
Will cast their shadows on the grass
Where little children play.
As April warms the earth again
The flowers will come to birth again
Like smiles that follow all our fears
When trouble fades away.
