Second Sunday After Easter

WHAT "blushing Hippocrene" is here! what fire
Of the "warm South" with magic of old Spain!
Through which again I seem to view the train

There are curious isles in the River of Sleep,
Curious isles without number.
We'll visit them all as we leisurely creep
Down the winding stream whose current is deep,
In our beautiful barge of Slumber.
The Magic Wand

Breathes the scent of rain-
Rain that calls her treasures
Back to life again-
So my spirit quickens to the opening strain.
The Woddy Hollow
