LOVE'S SPRINGTIDE, by                    
First Line: Henceforth my life shall ever know the spring
Last Line: The hopes and joys that warm the nest of love.
Subject(s): Spring


Henceforth my life shall ever know the Spring,
And from my heart where love has made her nest
There shall go forth upon the lyric quest
Glad thoughts, from day to day new-born, to sing
My joy through all the earth like birds a-wing:
The voice of Love shall steal into my rest
In dreams of song, and every dawn be blest
With music sweet beyond imagining.

So shall I share the rapture of the lark,
The nightingale's enchantment in the dark,
The ecstasy of every star above;
Song shall be mine until that day when Death
Shall come to me and hush with frozen breath
The hopes and joys that warm the nest of Love.
