While tnowy mantle all orer the ground

Thal't March!

Soft blow the breezea, the ice melts away. Gray Ptnay Willows first look upon day.

The tall trees are budding, the gram blades show green.

A brave little Snow Drop or Crocus u seen

That's March!

Oh. queer comhmaboo of chill days and fair

Of Winter's cold blowing and Spring's balmy aw;

Perhaps like a Loo the tempests will roar

And like a meek lamb pass through the Year's door

Thai's March!
