When the first little crocus peeped out of the ground,
And slyly looked round,
Not a flower was awake, not a bit of new green
Was anywhere seen;
5 And it seemed, with a shiver the little one said,
"Oh, I am afraid,
The trees are so n.a.k.e.d, the earth is so black!
Please let me go back!
You have called me too early, my dear Mother Spring,
10 I am such a wee thing!"

Then a bluebird whistled, "Oh, no! my dear,
It is good you are here;
For now we are sure that spring is near."
Then a sober old robin came bustling by
15 With the sleep in his eye;
"Ah, me! how s.t.u.p.i.d. I was to wait;
And now I am late!
The bluebird has piped, and the crocus has come;
And you know by the hum
20 The h.o.t little bee is beating his drum."

Then sweet Mother Spring, with a sunshine k.i.s.s.,
Said something like this:
"Thanks, brave little crocus, so slender and small,
For heeding my call
25 While orchards were leafless, and snow-drifts staid
In the all-day shade:
You are telling us sweetly that soonest begun
The soonest is done;
That little by little makes up the great,
30 And early obeying is better than late."
