What is the complete poem spring has sprung by Ogden Nash?

Answer 1

Spring has newly sprung

the hills are full of grass

and along comes a billy-goat

sliding on his overcoast

down the summer pass

This may be an Ogden Nash poem, but it is not the one requested. That one is called "The Passionate Pagan and the Dispassionate Public -- a Tragedy of the Machine Age. It starts this way, but I cannot find the remaining verses:

(The Passionate Pagan):

Spring is Sprung, the grass is riz.

I Wonder where the boidies is?

(The Dispassionate Public):

Spring is what winta

Always gozinta.

... This much has been in my memory for about 60 years. I'm searching for the rest of it.

Spring is sprung,

the grass is riz,

I wonder where the boidies is.

They say the boid is on the wing.

But that's absoid.

The wing is on the boid.

Answer 2

The version I know is:

"Spring is sprung, the grass is riz,

I wonder where dem boidies is?

The little boids is on the wing -

Ain't that absoid?

The little wings is on the boid."
