The Spirit of Love
T he fields are full of blossom s,
T h e birds siwg everyw here
And the insects' drow sy m urm ur
Fills the soft Ju n e air.
W e feel a luring presence
In m eadow , tree and flower,
W hile the gentle w inds are filling
W ith fragrance the passing hour.
W e long for the su m m er’s glory,
F o r the woods and the m ountain
stream s.
O r dream of the g reat wide ocean
K issed by the moon’s b rig h t beam s.
’T is the spirit of love th a t’s calling.
T hat would live in the h ea rts of men
And it sw ays by its gentle presence
As it lingers over them .
T he S p rin g brings but the prom ise.
The S um m ertim e fulfills;
So o ur lives are m ade ready
F o r the blessings love distills.

To a Blackbird
L ittle blackbird c h a tte r on!
Fill the air with thv loud cry,
W elco m e art thou on o u r law n.
( Jnce I th o u g h t I was unhappy
’T ill 1 heard th y inerry song,
Now I know I should be m erry
E very m inute, all day long.

A pple Blossoms
O n the soft green grass as they fell
I counted them one by o n e ;
Each blossom so pink and white,
Kissetl by the dew and the s u n ;
And I th o u g h t as I saw them float
T h ro u g h the air to the ground beneath,
T h at I should be lonely w ithout them ,
But the bees would not miss them at
all.
I'or all S um m er long other flowers
would coat
T h eir w ings w ith pollen so yellow.
