First lines

Of a thousand things that the Year snowed under- / The busy Old Year who has gone away- / How many will rise in the Spring, I wonder, / Brought to life by the sun of May? / Will the rose-tree branches, so wholly hidden / That never a rose-tree seems to be, / At the sweet Spring's call come forth unbidden, / And bud in beauty, and bloom for me?
