WARBLE FOR LILAC-TIME
WALT WHITMAN
Warble me now for joy of lilac-time
(returning in reminiscence),
Sort me, O tongue and lips
for Nature’s sake, souvenirs of
earliest summer,
Gather the welcome signs (as
children with pebbles or
stringing shells),
Put in April and May, the
hylas croaking in the ponds, the elastic air,
Bees, butterflies, the sparrow
with its simple notes,
Blue-bird and darting swallow,
nor forget the high-hole
flashing his golden
wings,
The tranquil sunny haze, the
clinging smoke, the vapor,
Shimmer of waters with fish
in them, the cerulean above,
All that is jocund and sparkling,
the brooks running,
The maple woods, the crisp
February days, and the sugar-making,
The robin where he hops, bright-eyed,
brown-breasted,
With musical clear call at
sunrise and again at sunset,
Or flitting among the trees
of the apple-orchard, building the
nest of his mate,
The melted snow of March,
the willow sending forth its
yellow-green sprouts,
For spring-time is here! the
summer is here! and what is this in
it and from it?
Thou, soul, unloosen’d—the
restlessness after I know not what;
Come, let us lag here no longer,
let us be up and away!
