The pleasant spring has come again, Its voice is in the trees; It speaks from every sunny glen, It rides upon the breeze! The scattered flocks are lowing, Beneath each shady tree, The gentle winds are blowing, Oh, come, rejoice with me! The pleasant spring has come again, I hear the river’s roar, It sparkles, foams, and leaps, as when My summer skiff it bore! Stern winter’s chain is rended, The gushing founts are free, And light with water blended, Is dancing o’er the sea! The pleasant spring has come again, All nature’s heart is glad, The mountains rise like giant men, And smile with beauty clad! The pretty flowers are springing In every greenwood shade, Their perfumes round them flinging, As sweet as Eden made. The pleasant spring has come again, The ploughman’s songs arise, While woodland echoes mock, and then The thrilling cadence dies; The merry birds are singing, Afar the music floats, And every vale is ringing With soft and mellow notes. The pleasant spring has come again, Its voice is in the trees; It speaks from every sunny glen, It rides upon the breeze! The pretty flowers are springing, The gushing founts are free, The merry birds are singing, Let all rejoice with me!
