"Spring!" by Joyce O'Pray (1933)

Spring!

BY JOYCE O'PRAY.

There's a heartiness in the way

That blithesome children play;

In the gay song the robins sing

There's glad, welcome spring.


Suburbanites their gardens plan,

Trying to surpass the neighboring man;

From morn to night, an echo rings

Of the harboring of growing things.


Choking brooks and grassy sprouts

Leap and swell with joyous shouts;

All nature ope's her portals,

And spring's songs sway the hearts of mortals.


From your firesides break away!

Spend all the day in careless play!

Face the dawn with god-like cheer,

For a new springtime is here!

Troy Times. April 21, 1933: 20 col 1.


Joyce O'Pray Mohan Lower (1914-1991)
