Ghe ROYAL NEIGHBOR Entered as second-class matter September 21, 1911, at the postoffice at Rock Island, Il.,under the act of Congress of March 8, 1876 he When the Woods ‘Turn Green Again HERE’S a warm, warm wind comes from the south With a promise and a song—— A song that wells from a rose-lipped mouth, In cadence full and strong. It whispers, whispers through the day To the hearts of longing men, That the time is coming on the way When the woods turn green again. When the woods turn green in the sunshine’s kiss, And dream o’er the lazy pool Where the dappled shadows, hit-and-miss, Sway slowly, dark and cool, And the long, long dawnings bring the tune Of the robin, thrush and wren, Till they lullaby to the day-held moon, When the woods turn green again. When the woods turn greén, and the sky’s rich hue Takes a deeper, truer shade, And the blood-red poppies dot the view * In a pattern God has made, Then the song the south wind sings so low Will live on the hill and glen, And it’s mellow notes into being grow When the woods turn green again. —W.
