At/in State/nn-tl College/nn-tl ,/, he/pps had/hvd no/at time/nn to/to walk/vb among/in the/at violets/nns on/in the/at water's/nn$ edge/nn ./.
From/in his/pp$ room/nn he/pps could/md look/vb out/rp in/in springtime/nn and/cc see/vb the/at couples/nns hand/nn in/in hand/nn walking/vbg slowly/rb ,/, deliciously/rb ,/, across/in the/at campus/nn ,/, and/cc he/pps could/md smell/vb the/at sweet/jj vernal/jj winds/nns ./.
