Then the world is muffled and numb, and no one can hear each other or feel each other. Think how sad and lonely that must be.

The spring is fresh and fearless
And every leaf is new,
The world is brimmed with moonlight,
The lilac brimmed with dew.

My heart is fresh and fearless
And over-brimmed with spring.
