THE BIRTH OF SPRING
1
|
Quick streams of little waters flow
Beneath the winter's crusty snow, And everywhere that you may go 'Tis Spring, 'tis Spring you know! For bubbling till they break the snow The little waters singing go: |
Chorus
|
“Come join the Company of Spring,
Come robins, wrens, come all and sing. We'll make our ice-caves laugh and ring, We'll blend our torrent-song of Spring.” |

The gardener trims the anxious trees
And little twigs fly in the breeze; “Come float, come float, play you're a boat,” The waters call, “Come float. The noisy robins' earliest note Is bursting from his tiny throat, come float.” |
Chorus
|
“O, join the Company of Spring,
All you whose hearts are on the wing. Our winter-cares away we'll fling, And rhapsodize the living Spring.” |
