AWAKENING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Never yet was a springtime
Last Line: The song! The green and the gold!
Alternate Author Name(s): Van Deth, Gerrit, Mrs.


NEVER yet was a springtime,
Late though lingered the snow,
That the sap stirred not at the whisper
Of the south wind, sweet and low;
Never yet was a springtime
When the buds forgot to blow.

Ever the wings of the summer
Are folded under the mould;
Life, that has known no dying,
Is Love's, to have and to hold,
Till, sudden, the burgeoning Easter!
The song! the green and the gold!
