Those first days of spring with cheeks so ruddy
Wanting sun burns with desire winter clouds
Dares passage over meadows so muddy
Besides ice cold brook grows in misty shrouds

Sing us up vibrant song you redbreast bold
Revel a whole woods cry out Spring has Come
Wake the day alive and shake off the cold
We all know you won't let your love keep mum

Burst from the ground an iris or crocus
While we smile with our eager impatience
Who be first to show their hocus pocus
To study nature... is love not science

So precious a time rewinds like a clock
When the first signs of spring is all we talk
