*** How Far Away Was Spring! ***
And they spoke of
Those dreary places;
And of lack of shelters;
And of sand and stones,
Across the level ground;
And they said ‘there was wasted time
With much going round
And beating retreats’;
And then they spoke of season
That was still winter;
And that it was a bitter cold wind
That often blew;
And they wondered
How far away was spring!
