Once more the Spring's exultant joy <br />And flowery dream have come to pass; <br />Once more the birth of hawthorn white, <br />The green revival of the grass. <br /> <br />Again the pageant of the leaves, <br />The fragrance of the cherry-boughs; <br />Again the April glamor comes, <br />Again the young Spring's wild carouse! <br /> <br />O heart of mine, once more for you <br />The world awakes with bloom and song; <br />Hushed are the voices of old Grief, <br />And vanished is the face of Wrong. <br /> <br />The April paean rings again, <br />Spring's flowery dream has come to pass, <br />And who shall weep when Love has given <br />The green revival of the grass?<br /><br />Charles Hanson Towne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spring-rapture/
