 1    I|            clouds~Are buoyant. With the spring comes bean-sowing;~Thee,
 2    I|                 the summer’s heat?~When Spring the rain-bringer comes rushing
 3    I|                 end~Of winter, and when Spring begins to smile.~Then lambs
 4    I|              the month’s end those that spring from it,~Rainless and windless
 5   II|             their own force spontaneous spring,~No hand of man compelling,
 6   II|                but blithe and strenuous spring,~Since Nature lurks within
 7   II|             myrtles; while from suckers spring~Both hardy hazels and huge
 8   II|                nor of self-same fashion spring~Fat olives, orchades, and
 9   II|             gods.~Here blooms perpetual spring, and summer here~In months
10   II|              and from the earth beneath~Spring to like verdure; thus alone
11   II|              vineyards when in blushing Spring~Comes the white bird long-bodied
12   II|              While summer is departing. Spring it is~Blesses the fruit-plantation,
13   II|           Blesses the fruit-plantation, Spring the groves;~In Spring earth
14   II| fruit-plantation, Spring the groves;~In Spring earth swells and claims
15   II|              Twas Spring-tide then, ay, Spring, the mighty world~Was keeping:
16  III|           Spring-tide chiefly, for with Spring~Warmth doth their frames
17  III|           gently downward to Castalia’s spring.~Now, awful Pales, strike
18  III|               while yet~With showers of Spring and rainy south-winds earth~
19   IV|            huge-grown oleaster, that in Spring,~Their own sweet Spring-tide,
20   IV|                 the foe.~So, when a dry Spring and clear space is given,~
21   IV|               first to cull the rose in spring,~He the ripe fruits in autumn;
