6<title>Song</title>
7<stanza>
8<line>And suddenly the wind comes soft,</line>
9<line>And Spring is here again;</line>
10<line>And the hawthorn quickens with buds of green</line>
11<line>And my heart with buds of pain.</line>
12</stanza>
13<stanza>
14<line>My heart all Winter lay so numb,</line>
15<line>The earth so dead and frore,</line>
16<line>That I never thought the Spring would come again</line>
17<line>Or my heart wake any more.</line>
18</stanza>
19<stanza>
20<line>But Winter's broken and earth has woken,</line>
21<line>And the small birds cry again;</line>
22<line>And the hawthorn hedge puts forth its buds,</line>
23<line>And my heart puts forth its pain.</line>
