Mason/Introduction

“Here's a hymn to welcome in the day Heralding a summer's early sway And all the bulbs all coming in, To begin The thrushes bleating battle with the wrens Disrupts my reverie again Pegging clothing on the line Training jasmine how to vine Up the arbor to your door, And more You're standing on the landing with the war You shouldered all the night before And once upon it The yellow bonnets Garland all the line And you were waking And day was breaking A panoply of song And summer comes to Springville Hill”
