SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 85 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: O WONDER OF ALL WONDERS
Last Line: AT THIS POOR DOOR OF MINE!
Subject(s): SPRING; HOPE;

O wonder of all wonders,
The winter time is done,
And to the low, bleak, bitter hills
Comes back the melting sun!
O wonder of all wonders,
The soft spring winds return,
And in the sweeping gusts of rain
The glowing tulips burn!
O wonder of all wonders,
That tenderness divine,
Bearing a woman's name, should knock
At this poor door of mine!
