The yearly miracle had been performed.\u003cbr\u003eThe leaves of the maple trees lining the village street unbound from\u003cbr\u003etheir winter casings, the violets that lifted brave blue eyes from the\u003cbr\u003evivid grass carpeting the roadside banks, the cherry and plum blossoms\u003cbr\u003ein the orchards decking the still leafless trees with their pink and\u003cbr\u003ewhite favours, the timid grain tingeing with green the brown fields that\u003cbr\u003eran up to the village street on every side--all shouted in chorus that\u003cbr\u003espring had come. And all the things with new blood running wild in their\u003cbr\u003eveins, the lambs of a few days still wobbly on ridiculous legs skipping\u003cbr\u003eover and upon the huge boulders in farmer Martin's meadow, the birds\u003cbr\u003ethronging the orchard trees, the humming insects rioting in the\u003cbr\u003egenial sun, all of them gave token of strange new impulses calling for\u003cbr\u003esomething more than mere living because spring had come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpon the topmost tip of the taller of the twin poplars that flanked the\u003cbr\u003epicket gate opening upon the Gwynnes' little garden sat a robin, his\u003cbr\u003ehead thrown back to give full throat to the song that was like to burst\u003cbr\u003ehis heart, monotonous, unceasing, rapturous. On the door step of the\u003cbr\u003eGwynnes' house, arrested on the threshold by the robin's song, stood the\u003cbr\u003eGwynne boy of ten years, his eager face uplifted, himself poised like a\u003cbr\u003ebird for flight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Law-r-ence,\" clear as a bird call came the voice from within.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Mo-th-er,\" rang the boy's voice in reply, high, joyous and shrill.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Ear-ly!
