Spring's children
Language:
English
Gay Marigold is frolic,
She laughs till summer is done ;
She hears the Grillie chirping
All day i' the blazing sun.
But when the pale moon rises,
She fain her face would hide ;
For the high Queen of sorrows
Disdains her empty pride.
Fair Primrose haunts the shadow
With children of the Spring,
Till in the bloomy woodland
The nightingale will sing.
And when he lauds the May-night
And spirits throng the grove,
The moon shines thro' the branches
And floods her heart with love.
First published in Country Life, July 1906, revised 1912
