The birth of Spring, with ambient sunshine, revives
The earth from winter's blast.
A carnival of harmony comes swinging down
The avenues of grass.
The meadow larks, while building nests, accent their notes
In cadences of song;
And courting doves still coo their griefs to pensive mates
Who mournfully respond.

From lofty choirs concealed in cool arcades of trees,
The solemn matins ring.
And when the feathered warblers fold their drowsy wings
And cease their carolings,
The hoot owl, cricket, and the whippoorwill emerge.
From screen of dense foliage
And in the silent mid-night hours tune up their harps
And play a serenade.

The wind, so full of grace, pulsates above the earth
While grasses sway in tune.
And fragrant blooms enhance the new born air, and shake
Their veils of sweet perfume,
Which mingle with the melodies, when echoes fling
Their clarion refrains
That rouse a world of beauty, throbbing with the winds
And sunshine, birds and rain.
