THE THROSTLE.

'Summer is coming, summer is coming.
I know it, I know it, I know it.
Light again, leaf again, life again, love again,'
Yes, my wild little Poet.

Sing the new year in under the blue.
Last year you sang it as gladly.
'New, new, new, new'! Is it then so new
That you should carol so madly?

'Love again, song again, nest again, young again'
Never a prophet so crazy!
