A SPRING REVERIE
The bumble bees are buzzin’ all around the dandelion,
And the blackbirds through the sky blue are here and there a-flyin’;
The grass is growin’ fresh and green and the lilacs peekin’ out,
And the smell of Spring is in the air and everywhere about;
The crows are sittin’ on the fence and loudly cryin’, “Caw!”
And seems to me it’s fishin’ time in the dear old Chippewa.
The sleepy pussy willows are a swayin’ in the breeze;
A hundred gladsome sing birds are all singin’ in the trees;
The bull-frog joins the chorus with his Springtime melody,
And the balmy air is full of light as far as eye can see;
The women-folk are cleanin’ house–I hear their loud hurrah;
And seems to me it’s fishin’ time in the dear old Chippewa.
