Let’s sing, it’s Spring, when birds do ring And bring great joy to ev’rything! A time when seeds do sprout, break ground, And buds emerge, sweet petals abound. The woods explode with festive sound. Let’s sing, it’s Spring, when birds do ring!
And then I spy a silver swan, that curious bird, For whom, a silent song preferred. For whom, til Death, no note is heard. Let’s sing, it’s Spring, when birds do ring!
I rise up early to catch the dawn, My senses awake to flora and fawn. All Nature’s alive with scent and song. Let’s sing, it’s Spring, when birds do ring!
The water leads me t’wards a bog, Where steam’s a-risin’ and turns to fog. I hear fowl sounds and barkin’ dog. Let’s sing, it’s Spring, when birds do ring!
As I stroll calmly through the park, I lose myself in thought, when Hark! I wake to hear a happy lark. Let’s sing, it’s Spring, when birds do ring!
Let’s all join in and croon a tune, Be crazy as a common loon! Let’s spring through April, May and June. Let’s sing, it’s Spring, when birds do ring!

Spring!
I wander by the river’s edge And watch a robin on a ledge, So gaily chirping from a hedge. Let’s sing, it’s Spring, when birds do ring!
