Welcome, spring, with all thy flowers, Children fair of teeming earth; Welcome, sunshine; welcome, showers; Harbingers of Nature’s birth. Welcome, summer days of pleasure; Welcome, leafy-laden trees; Welcome to thy skies of azure, And, thy balmy western breeze. Welcome, Autumn; glad, we hail thee, Fruitful child, of plenty born; Welcome, vines that never fail thee; Welcome, sheaves of golden corn. Welcome, with thy frosty dressings, Winter, clad in holly green; Rich man’s bounty, poor man’s blessings, ’Neath thy jovial smile are seen. Seasons all, with joy we meet ye, As in varied course ye move; Gratefully ’tis ours to greet ye, Gifts divine of heaven-born love. Spring’s sweet flowerets intertwining, Summer, with thy sunny rays; Autumn, winter, all combining, Joyful sing in nature’s praise.
