| | Hail to the King of Bethlehem, |
| Who weareth in His diadem |
| The yellow crocus for the gem |
| Of His authority! |

| Welcome, wild harbinger of spring! |
| To this small nook of earth; |
| Feeling and fancy fondly cling |
| Round thoughts which owe their birth |
| To thee, and to the humble spot |
| Where chance has fixed thy lowly lot. |
Bernard Barton. | 2 | |
