John Greenleaf Whittier, Mogg Megone, Part III.
“
'Tis spring-tune on the eastern hills! Like torrents gush the summer rills; Through winter's moss and dry dead leaves The bladed grass revives and lives, Pushes the mouldering waste away, And glimpses to the April day.
— John Green on Spring (season)

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "'Tis spring-tune on the eastern hills! Like torrents gush the summer rills; Through winter's moss and dry dead leaves The bladed grass revives and lives, Pushes the mouldering waste away, And glimpses to the April day." in the context of "John Greenleaf Whittier, Mogg Megone, Part III." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
