O Springtime Sweet!

O springtime sweet!

The whole earth smiles

thy coming to greet;

Our hearts to their

inmost depths are stirred

by the first spring flower
& the song of the bird...

"Earth stirs herself from a long cold

sleep, to welcome the sun & warm

gentle rain, gladdening the heart as

a promise she keeps, as we open

the door to spring again."
