¶Lyrics / Text

The Spring’s free sunshine falleth Like balm upon the heart, And care and fear, dull shadows, Are hastening to depart. Oh, season of rejoicing, That fills my heart and brain With visions such as never Me-thought should come again. How lovingly the sunshine Clings round the tufts of green; And all is fair and joyful As winter ne’er has been. The butterfly is wending Its way from flower to flower, Like a freed and happy spirit, Meet emblem of such hour. The rose is opening slowly, The lilac’s scented cones Are musical till nightfall With wild bees’ drowsy tones. We smile to see the conquest Of beauty o’er decay, With merry lark up-soaring, We greet at dawning day.
