Spring s Arrival

At last, the spring has come to stay, 
And nature wakes in bright array 
The golden sun now warms the land, 
While rooks tap tunes with beak in hand 

The river sheds its icy sheen, 
New grass unfolds in shades of green 
How sweet to stroll through fields so wide - 
We’ve longed for warmth by winter’s side 

The birds take flight in skies so blue, 
Their hymns to spring ring pure and true 
Soon nests will cradle life anew, 
And fledglings dance in morning dew 

The school year ends with joyful cheer, 
For summer’s rest is drawing near 
We’ve waited long for earth to rise, 
To greet the sun with sleepy eyes 
 
Oh, welcome, spring! We’ve missed your light, 
Too thrilled for sleep, we dance all night 
And soon the summer winds will play - 
We count the hours, we dream, we sway 

So warm, so bright, our hearts take flight, 
With plans as endless as the sky 
The world’s alive, the air’s a song - 
Oh, spring, we’ve waited far too long!
