SPRING
What is the meaning of spring
The teacher asked one day
To her class of little boys and girls
To hear what they would say
As she scanned the little faces
To find an answer there
When she caught sight of an upraised hand
And a confident childish stare
Well Tommy, what is your answer
She asked the little lad
Whose face lit up with an eager smile
As he rose to his feet and said
When you see lots of kids on skates
And playing marbles too
And all the girls are jumping rope
And there's a happy feeling in you
When you hate to sit and study
And you can't remember a thing
When that lazy feeling gets you
Then you know it's spring
Esther Watkins 1935
