Weeping Willow & the Arts Oh, it is time for making whistles! Let us go-let us go,To the wild secluded places Where lilting streamlets flow;Where graceful pussy-willowsIn a shining silver throng Are dancing by the watersTo the music of their song.
It is time for making whistlesThat will blow-that will blow; For the green on the upland, The South Wind wafts a greeting-The birds a welcome sing;Oh, it’s time for willows whistlesTo pipe in praise of Spring!
-SARAH A. HEINZERLING
