Spring Greeting
From the German of Herder.
All faintly through my soul to-day,As from a bell that far awayIs tinkled by some frolic fay,Floateth a lovely chiming.Thou magic bell, to many a fellAnd many a winter-saddened dellThy tongue a tale of Spring doth tell,Too passionate-sweet for rhyming.
Chime out, thou little song of Spring,Float in the blue skies ravishing.Thy song-of-life a joy doth bringThat's sweet, albeit fleeting.Float on the Spring-winds e'en to my home:And when thou to a rose shalt comeThat hath begun to show her bloom,Say, I send her greeting!
