It is Spring again, Tra La!
I’m so happy it’s Spring, Tra La!
The days are longer
The sun is warmer
And crocuses, daffodils and tulips abound!
And the red, red Robin goes
bob, bob, bobbling along the ground.
The skies are blue, the snow is past,
and the March winds have slowed at last.
The song of a bird is music to my ear,
The song of a bird is so sweet and clear.
God is in his heaven, and so all’s right again,
and hope springs eternal in the hearts of men.
