Spring dances before me
Clad in soft hues of green.
 Hidden worlds filled with wonder;
Smiling rainbows hold dreams.

The fluting of song birds
Herald the splendor of day,
While the honey bee buzzing
 Is finding her way...

Above the long hair of grasses,
through petals falling like snow;
To fields of flowers,
Rivers ambling slow.

Lullaby of the forest
Plays softly and sweet
As the waterfall dreams
Past the bubbling creek.

Little miracles of nature
Joyfully play out of sight.
In the arms of old oak
Fledglings take their first flight.

Tendrils of day light 
Illuminate gossamer wings;
Rejoice! Queen of the seasons,
This first day of spring.
