When awakened by a golden sunrise call and birds announcing spring upon my sill... I'm thrilled to see the night has left a shawl of green enchantment, dressing every hill ! It painted twigs of every leaf and bough and tiptoed in while I was soundly sleeping Spreading news that spring is here, and now is how a world renews our spirits, sinking Green has roused the meadows from their soggy beds and dried the willow's tears, from sadly, weeping She kissed the leaves before the summer's red And urged my muse to do some gallant leaping ! Awakened by the bugle's morning thrill of green that dresses keen on every hill
