"Father Time, your footsteps go

Lightly as the falling snow.

In your swing I’m sitting, see!

Push me softly; one, two, three,

Twelve times only. Like a sheet

Spreads the snow beneath my feet.

Singing merrily, let me swing

Out of winter into spring!

Swing me out, and swing me in!

Trees are bare, but birds begin

Twittering to the peeping leaves

On the bough beneath the eaves.

Look! One lilac-bud I saw!

Icy hillsides feel the thaw;

April chased off March to-day;

Now I catch a glimpse of May

Oh, the smell of sprouting grass!

In a blur the violets pass;

Whispering from the wild-wood come

Mayflowers’ breath and insects’ hum;

Roses carpeting the ground;

Orioles warbling all around;

Swing me low, and swing me high,

To the warm clouds of July!

Slower now, for at my side

White pond-lilies open wide;

Underneath the pine’s tall spire

Cardinal-blossoms burn like fire;

They are gone; the golden-rod

Flashes from the dark green sod;

Crickets in the grass I hear;

Asters light the fading year."
