| Spring Song |
| | | William Griffith |
| |
| |
| SOFTLY at dawn a whisper stole | |
| Down from the Green House on the Hill, | |
| Enchanting many a ghostly bole | |
| And wood-song with the ancient thrill. | |
| |
| Gossiping on the country-side, | 5 |
| Spring and the wandering breezes say, | |
| God has thrown Heaven open wide | |
| And let the thrushes out to-day. | |
