[00:00:00] The Spring by Thomas Carew

[00:00:05] Now that the winter's gone the earth hath lost

[00:00:08] Her snow-white robes and now no more the frost

[00:00:11] Candies the grass or casts an icy cream

[00:00:14] Upon the silver lake or crystal stream;

[00:00:17] But the warm sun thaws the benumbed earth

[00:00:20] And makes it tender; gives a sacred birth

[00:00:23] To the dead swallow; wakes in hollow tree

[00:00:27] The drowsy cuckoo and the humble bee

[00:00:30] Now do a choir of chirping minstrels bring

[00:00:32] In triumph to the world the youthful spring

[00:00:36] The valleys hills and woods in rich array

[00:00:39] Welcome the coming of the long'd-for May

[00:00:42] Now all things smile; only my love doth lour;

[00:00:48] Nor hath the scalding noonday sun the power

[00:00:50] To melt that marble ice which still doth hold

[00:00:53] Her heart congeal'd and makes her pity cold

[00:00:57] The ox which lately did for shelter fly

[00:01:00] Into the stall doth now securely lie

[00:01:03] In open fields; and love no more is made

[00:01:06] By the fireside but in the cooler shade

[00:01:09] Amyntas now doth with his Chloris sleep

[00:01:11] Under a sycamore and all things keep

[00:01:14] Time with the season; only she doth carry

[00:01:17] June in her eyes in her heart January
