Spring is here, the earth awakes
from winters ice and snow.
The soil warms up beneath the sun,
new life begins to grow.
The tender little snowdrop,
always the first to show
Points bravely through the last cold winds
the way for all to go,
And soon the clarion call of life
is felt throughout the land
As springs new challenge to nature
is seen at every hand.
How we always greet with joy
this beat of nature’s heart,
That signals life’s return from sleep,
New Year, new life, new start.
