The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day
When the sun is out and the wind is still,

A wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March.

I come, I come! ye have called me long,
I come o'er the mountain with light and song:
Ye may trace my step o'er the wakening earth,
By the winds which tell of the violet's birth,
By the primrose-stars in the shadowy grass,
By the green leaves, opening as I pass.
