Is a song of unqualified bliss;

I have never sung quite such a song in my life;

I have nothing but jeers for the tears of my wife;

She may moan, she may groan, she may weep and grow wild,

But the Spring shall remain undisturbed, undefiled,

Spring with a new and more beautiful meaning,

Spring as it ought to be, Spring without cleaning;

Halcyon days!

Oh, let us raise

Shouts of thanksgiving and pæans of praise.
