Come, let us go and be glad again together
Where of old our eyes were opened and we knew that we were free!
Come, for it is April, and her hands have loosed the tether
That has bound for long her children.—who her children more than we?
Hark! hear you not how the strong waters thunder
Down through the alders with the word they have to bring?
Even now they win the meadow and the withered turf is under,
And, above, the willows quiver with foreknowledge of the spring.
Yea, they come, and joy in coming: for the giant hills have sent them.—
The hills that guard the portal where the South has built her throne:
Unloitering their course is,—can wayside pools content them,
Who were born where old pine forests for the sea forever moan?
And they, behind the hills, where forever bloom the flowers,
So they ever know the worship of the re-arisen Earth?
Do their hands ever clasp such a happiness as ours,
Now the waters foam about us and the grasses have their birth?
Fair is their land,—yea fair beyond all dreaming,—
With its sun upon the roses and its long
