Spring

F.M.H.D., F.A.
IN The Stars And Stripes, A.E.F., France

IT'S Spring at home; I know the signs--
The buds are bursting on the vines,
The birds speed high with happier wings, 
I lie heart of youth is glad, and sings.

It's Spring in France; I know the signs--
The massed reserves behind the lines; 
The heart of youth burgeons once more
To manhood, and resurgent war!
