SPRING.
Come with.bows bent and with emptying of quivers, Maiden most perfect, lady of light, With a noise of winds and many rivers, With a clamour of waters and with might ; Bind on thy sandals, 0 thou most fleet, Over the splendour and speed of thy feet ; For the faint east quickens, the wan west shivers, " Round the feet'of the day and the feet of the night.
For winter's rains and ruins are over, And all the.seasons of snow and sina; The days dividing lover and lover, * The light that loses, the night that
wins ; And time remember'd is grieffforr r gotten, And frosts are slain and flowers begotten, And m green underwood and cover Blossom by blossom the spring begins.
—Chorus from Atalanta m Calydon,
