Spring's a‑coming to town
Language: English
Spring's a-coming to town, and so Peep forth the blades of green, As if to all the world to show What Spring's return will mean. There's a fairer light in the skies once grey, And the earth's no longer brown; For Nature's heralds are on the way, And Spring's a-coming to town. Spring's a-coming to town, and so There's gladness in the day; In breaking skies a fairer glow To light a verdant way. There's a tender note from each bird of morn, On the wind comes floating To tell its promise of hopes re-born, For Spring's a-coming to town.
