| lyric | Glad welcome, joyous springtide bring!
gone winter’s silence
long and chilling,
glad welcome, sprintide bring!
Each branch with living sap
is filling and ev’ry heart at tuned to sing.
Now wond’ring, thro’ woodblossoms streaming,
new hope o’er meadowsgreen is furled;
foreboding sweet and wondrous dreaming
falls like a blessing on the world.
Glad welcome, joyous springtide bring!
gone winter’s silence
long and chilling,
glad welcome, sprintide bring! |
