TRAILING ARBUTUS.
Daintiest flower of Northern spring,
When the sun shines and the robins sing
Overhead in the pines;
Like a star in the night-time
Heralding the bright time,
Your pink flower shines.
When the sun shines and the robins sing
Overhead in the pines;
Like a star in the night-time
Heralding the bright time,
Your pink flower shines.
Clad in your dress of waxen green,
Of fairest hue and of glossy sheen,
You show your face;
When the dead leaves are removed.
All your sweetness then is proved,
And lovely grace.
