FAREWELL, WINTER; WELCOME, SPRING.
Farewell, Winter, shivering, old, 'Mid bitter blasts and biting cold ; Welcome, Spring, O, youn< and fair. Spreading beauty everywhere. Farewell, Winter, frost and snow Passing with you as you go ; Welcome, Spring, with lovely flowers To our fields and garden bowers. Farewell, Winter ; pass away, Weary night and gloomy day ; Welcome, Spring, with glowing light. Making all things glad and bright. Farewell Winter ; take with thee Naked field and leafless tree ; Welcome. Spring, thy verdure fills The cattle on a thousand hills, Farewell, Winter, songloss, sear. Barren wold and moorland drear ; Welcome, Spring, with all thy train Of singing choristers again. Farewell, Winter ; in the sky Let the sun-king reign on high ; Welcome, Spring : let all above Speak of everlasting love. Farewell, Winter ; in the earth Let nature have a second birth ; Welcome, Spring, 0, bring with thee Life to all abundantly. Farewell. Winter, let the sea Clap his hands in mighty glee; Welcome Spring ; with gladdening din, Let tepid waves come rolling in. Farewell, Winter ; from the heart Let the clouds of care depart ; Welcome, Spring ; with heart and voice Let the universe reioice. COMBIE,
