SPRING, by                    
First Line: A flash of blue in the lilac hedge
Last Line: Spring -- sweet spring -- is here again.
Subject(s): Spring


A flash of blue in the lilac hedge,
A robin on the housetop's edge
Sing -- Spring is here!

The tulips through the molded leaves
Pushing their way to sun and breeze
Say -- Spring is here!

The rosy buds on my almond tree
Burst into lovely bloom and see
That -- Spring is here!

The gentle rain on my windowpane
Whispers softly the sweet refrain,
Ah -- Spring is here!

And though the spring of my life is past,
My soul is not sad nor yet downcast;
For have I not seen the flash of blue,
The bursting buds and the tulips too?
So my heart joins in the glad refrain
Of birds and flowers and gentle rain,
Spring -- sweet spring -- is here again.
