Spring time is a merry time,
A merry time is Spring!
The little birds come out for straws;
They build, and hop, and sing.
The daffodils and crocuses
Spread out their golden heads;
Sweet cowslips hang their scented bells
Above the garden beds.
The cherry-trees are white with flowers,
The apple-trees are pink.
The green leaves wrapped in woolly buds
Peep out at you and wink.
The winds rock lightly in the trees:
The sunbeams dance and play.
Come out! Come out! The sky is blue,
The world is fresh and gay.
