VIOLET-TIME.
ViOLET-time is come again j. Once more laughing through the rain, Spring with sunny crown advances, Sunshine glittering on his lances. Long live Spring!—the rainbow aroh Greets his coronation march ; Green his banners, free and brare, From each tree-top rustling wave. Birds before him fly in crowds ; Fast above him float the clouds ; Swifter run rejoicing rivers; Sunbeam darts are in his quivers. Where he treads, primroses rise, And the daisies ope their eyes ; Black-birds sing in overy bush, Answering the merry thrush. Swallows are his heralds fleet, Faster than the pulses beat; Butterflies between the showers, Tell the glad news to the flowers. Our old monarch winter's dead j His crown is on another head ; Sunbeams chase the envious rain ; Violet time is come again.
