SPRING IS COMING.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!
Don't you hear her in the rill,
Tripping gaily o'er the valley,
Flying o'er the sunny hills?
Nature leaps to meet her coming,
With her teeming, babbling throng;
Gladsome Spring, with joy we greet thee,
With a cheerful voice of song.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!
She is in the Southern breeze;
Merrily the birds are singing
Matins in the forest trees.
Modest violets are springing,
From the gladsome earth the while,
And the butter-cups and daisies
Greet her with a lover's smile.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!
Tiny leaflets venture out;
Torrents that for months have slumbered,
Leaping onward, with a shout.
Wanton breezes kiss the flowers;
Butterflies are on the wing;
Birds have set the day to marry,
And invited guests to sing.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!
Joyous beats the pulse of life;
Weary ones, almost desponding,
Start anew to meet the strife.
Nature's bosom throbs with pleasure;
Spring has got the captive free;
Earth, with all her teeming millions,
Chants the song of jubilee!
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!
Don't you hear her in the rill,
Tripping gaily o'er the valley,
Flying o'er the sunny hills?
Nature leaps to meet her coming,
With her teeming, babbling throng;
Gladsome Spring, with joy we greet thee,
With a cheerful voice of song.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!
She is in the Southern breeze;
Merrily the birds are singing
Matins in the forest trees.
Modest violets are springing,
From the gladsome earth the while,
And the butter-cups and daisies
Greet her with a lover's smile.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!
Tiny leaflets venture out;
Torrents that for months have slumbered,
Leaping onward, with a shout.
Wanton breezes kiss the flowers;
Butterflies are on the wing;
Birds have set the day to marry,
And invited guests to sing.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!
Joyous beats the pulse of life;
Weary ones, almost desponding,
Start anew to meet the strife.
Nature's bosom throbs with pleasure;
Spring has got the captive free;
Earth, with all her teeming millions,
Chants the song of jubilee!
