SPRING SONG by WILLIAM GRIFFITH

First Line: SOFTLY AT DAWN A WHISPER STOLE
Last Line: AND LET THE THRUSHES OUT TO-DAY.
Subject(s): SPRING;

Softly at dawn a whisper stole
Down from the Green House on the Hill,
Enchanting many a ghostly bole
And wood-song with the ancient thrill.

Gossiping on the country-side,
Spring and the wandering breezes say,
God has thrown Heaven open wide
And let the thrushes out to-day.
