IT IS SPRINGTIME MAYOURNEEN, ONCE MORF.
The cattle are dreaming of .clover, The green blades push up through llie ground, The dark days of winter are over, The haytimo will soon be around. jSTot a cloud in the sky overhead shows; T!b& lark wp and upwaid doth soar; The buttercups bloom in llie meadows— It is springtime, inavourneen, once more.
The children all stop to pick flowers now As they pass on the way home from school ; The hedges are dense, leafy bowers Under trees the long shadows lie ccol; The pink apple blossoms are falling: Ah! why do you linger indoor? Come away, love, the green woods are calling — It is springtime, mavoumeen, once more. —Exile.
Moonlight, Ahauia, Westla.n3 x September, l?0l.
