The Dryads start forth from their wintry cells,
And from their oozy waves
The Naiads lift their heads
In sedgy bonnets trimm'd with rushy leaves
And water-blossoms from the forest stream.

— William Stanley Roscoe Poems (1854)

O thou that from the green vales of the west
Com'st in thy tender robes with bashful feet,
And to the gathering clouds
Liftest thy soft blue eye:
I woo thee, Spring!
