SPRINGTIME FRENESI
Joanna Svensson
In comes a thousand Daisies
Hopping, jumping down the lawn
They all dance and sing and they gossip
'Bout the timely arrival of spring
To every living being
They bring out the news
To the strawberries newly awaken
All dressed up in sheerest green suits
-Spring is here, spring is here!
Spring is really here!
The shy little violets all join in
With the frisky organizers
Of this happy spring-event
They all do come dressed
In blue lilac colors
Of utmost beauty
All blended in shades
Their spring-dance, so golden
Of pure happiness
Greeting the springtime
So lovely and bright
The one they've all wished for so long
The whole courtyard is filled
With spring-feelings and sun
And bandmaster Bumble invites us all
To Edward Grieg's Spring Symphony
Springtine itself gets tears in her eyes
Tears of happiness for this joyful event
Although each year it happens again
Every each year it's anew!
