Read the following poem then answer the questions that follow

​A song in springs
O little buds all burgeoning with spring
You hold my winter in forgetfulness
Without my window lilac branches swing
Within my gate I hear a robin song
O little laughing blooms that lift and bless
So blow the breezes in a soft caress
Blowing my dreams upon swallow’s wing;
O little merry buds in dappled dress
You fill my heart with very wantonness
Oh little buds all burgeoning with spring

By Thomas
