by Maude Valérie White (1855 - 1937)

The Spring has come
Language: English 
The Spring, the Spring has come again,
The trees have decked themselves anew in green,
And on the hills and in the fields,
Once more the little lambs at play are seen.

The birds are swinging in the blue,
And there's a nest in every tree
And in our hearts, like happy birds,
Young love is singing loud with glee.

The daisies and the buttercups,
Together dance beneath the splendid sky,
And no two hearts in all the world,
Have ever loved the Spring like you and I.

The apple boughs are all in bloom,
And blush beneath the breath of May,
And our two hearts from out the gloom
Awake to life as brave and gay.

The Winter's gone, the Spring has come,
The trees have decked themselves anew in green,
And on the hills and in the fields,
Once more the little lambs at play are seen.
And in our hearts as on the earth,
It is not only Spring but Heav'n today.
