  4. 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-willows In a shining silver throng Are dancing by the waters To the music of their song. It is time for making whistles That 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 whistles To pipe in praise of Spring! -SARAH A.
