 THE • YEAR'S • AT • THE • SPRING

''OME and see! Come and see!"''

The Thrush pipes out of the hawthorn-tree:

And I and Dicky on tiptoe go

To see what treasures he wants to show.

His call is clear as a call can be—

And "Come and see!" he says:

"Come and see! Come and see!"

His house is there in the hawthorn-tree:

The neatest house that ever you saw,

Built all of mosses and twigs and straw:

The folk who built were his wife and he—

And "Come and see!" he says:

"Come and see! Come and see!"

Within this house there are treasures three:

So warm and snug in its curve they lie—

Like three bright bits out of Spring's blue sky. 110
