As the birds come in the Spring,
We know not from where;
As the Btars come at evening
From depths of the air;
As the rain comes from the cloud,
And the brook from the giound;
Aa suddenly, low or loud,
Out of silence a soflnd;
As the kt ? pee come to the vine,
The fruit to the tree;
As the vind comes to th« pine,
And the tide to the sea;
As come the white sails of sliq s
O'er the ocean's verge;
As comes the smile to the 'ips;
The foam to the surge;
So come to the Poet his song«,
