Celia Thaxter

Song

HARK, how sweet the thrushes sing!
    Hark, how clear the robins call!
Chorus of the happy spring,
    Summer’s madrigal!
 
Flood the world with joy and cheer,
    O ye birds, and pour your song
Till the farthest distance hear
    Notes so glad and strong!
 
Storm the earth with odors sweet,
    O ye flowers, that blaze in light!
Crowd about June’s shining feet,
    All ye blossoms bright.
 
Shout, ye waters, to the sun!
    Back are winter’s fetters hurled;
Summer’s glory is begun;
    Beauty holds the world!
