Spring

No more will winters winds blow cold The time for summer's sun will soon be here The ice that stilled the waters flow Will melt and show us spring is near The snow that filled the fields Reminds us that the worst has been And to the warmth will yield Revealing a fresh sea of green Wild birds have taken to the air Swallows dance in pairs over streams Their chorus in the silver trees still bare Nature's song awakening them from winter dreams And young they soon will raise In nests on top of trees so high The sound of music plays Caught on the breeze as round they fly So soon the sleeping woodland trees With branches bare and colours lost to winters cold Will come to life with blossom and new leaves Soft hues of verdant green and precious gold Bright flowers will fill the air With perfume 'neath a sky so blue The trees no longer bare As spring returns and life renews
