A Spring Song

Mabel D. Carry

SMELL the sweet wind

From far woodlands—

How it comes

Blowing

Soft breezes,

Sharp breezes,

In clear pureness

From high hilltops!

Feel the wild wind

In the city streets—

How it comes

Bearing

New strongness,

Fresh gladness,

In light laughter

To a wearying world!

Hark you, free wind,

Tapping at my window

As you go

Singing

Glad songs,

Mad songs,

New love take to

Mon camarade—mon chéri!
