Everywhere I look!
Language: English 
This morning, in the merry, merry woods,
     The trees with laughter shook!
They'd seen old Winter hobble past
     A-leaning on his crook.
The crocus called 'good-bye to him, 
     And the violet from her nook:
For Spring is here in shoes of green,
     Everywhere I look.
Spring is here, Spring is here,
     Everywhere I look!

This morning, in the merry, merry woods,
     The trees with laughter shook!
They'd seen Love steal my heart from me—
     My happy heart he took!
I did not heed, but let it go—
     And sang with bird and brook,
For Spring is here in shoes of green,
     Everywhere I look!
