What shall I do with Springtime
Language: English
What shall I do with Springtime? Springtime's here! Shall I wear it about like a wreath of yesteryear? Or shall I flaunt it gaily, Circusdays? Like a barber's pole stripes round Two jealous ways? What shall I do with Springtime? Love? Shall I love? Like a storybook violets Blue skies above? Idle no new dreaming, Snow white seas With purpke islands red clouds Lavender trees
