¶Lyrics / Text

Now let us sing the joys of spring, And laugh the hours away; For bud and blossom doth she bring To welcome in the May. Before her dance the welcome hours, And o’er the hill and plain, The lovely band of fragrant flowers Now bloom in joy again. With melody the woods awake, And skies are bright and fair, The sunbeams flash o’er stream and lake And mirth is everywhere. ''Come, let us sing the Joys of Spring'' ''With loving hearts and true;'' ''Let music fall from dulcet string,'' ''To care we’ll bid adieu.'' With dance and son, the hours prolong, Our thankfulness to prove; For well we know her presence sweet Brings beauty, life, and love. Soon will the bloom on hawthorn spray Be white as lingering snow, And soon the meadow flowers be gay, Where ruddy milkmaids go. The lark is high, and trilling clear His sweet empyrean strain; He fills the springtide drawing near, And mates and sings again!
