The Flute of Spring
I KNOW a shining meadow streamThat winds beneath an Eastern hill,And all year long in sun or gloomIts murmuring voice is never still.
The summer dies more gently there,The April flowers are earlier,—The first warm rain-wind from the SoundSets all their eager hearts astir.
And there when lengthening twilights fallAs softly as a wild bird's wing,Across the valley in the duskI hear the silver flute of spring.
