A VISION OF 'S°PRI-NG
Spring cone yesterday to town
With a robin red and brown,
Wearing her new Easter hat,
A .pate purple ,plaque that sat
With a coy, coquettish 'flare
-On .her rippling ringlets .fair. -
Such a ,beautiful chapeau! -
Crowned -with violets all aglow,
'From some sweet,, sequestered dell,
•Where the nymphs and fairies dwell,
Fastened with a velvet vise
In the ancient Tyrian dyes,
Spring -came yesterday to town
In a gossamer mauve gown,
And the brown earth, cold and dr ear
Warmed, and whispered, "Spring is
here."
Jonquils sprang about her feet,
But the dream was all too sweet,
For that lovely :April day
Quickly passed and flew away.
