Spring Song
WELCOME, bright and sunny spring!
Oh, what joy and light you bring!
Meadows green and pretty flowers,
Pleasant walks and happy hours.
First the pretty snowdrop, see
Drop her bell so tenderly;
Then the crocus, golden bright,
Lifts its head into the light.
Ah! The daisies now have come,
Sprinting on the grassy lawn;
And the buttercup of gold
Its bright beauty doth unfold.
Hark! The little birds they sing,
"Welcome, bright and sunny spring!"
And the little children's feet
Patter down the village street,
Into woods and meadows fair
Primroses and violets there
Some to pick, and some to sing,
"Welcome, happy, joyous spring!"
