Now to spring

Now to spring
That doth bring
Everything

Everything new
All that had been
Has past

And now
Comes the new
The beginning

It is here
Now
It is growing

All around
Is life
Beginning
Anew

For the first time
The song is sung
Yes spring has begun

And it welcomes
Everyone
To come

Come share in this joy
Come and be a part
Of this splendid art

Now to the new
Take it in
Breath it in

It is glorious
And wonderful
It is fresh and full

So much here
One is overwhelmed in it
Caught up in a fit of wundermeant

Oh what beauty
What virgin grace
There is in this place

So tender
And free
Oh to be

To be caught up too
In this wondrous view
Here all things are new

Everything grows
Strong
And agile

Each has its purpose and form
Each plays its part
In this work of art

It is here now
For all who come
Free to everyone

So share in the joy
Share in the fun
Now's the time for living

Free and full
Within the joy
Of life's simple pleasures

Here lies the joys of spring
And with it
Everything

For it is a time of rebirth
When all the earth
Begins again

Where hope
Is let in
And stays a season

One is offered
A reason
To live

Hope has come to live
And walk amongst us for a time
To share with us a hope that may come

To each that would follow
To each that would share
In this

So come
And enjoy
In the hope of spring

And share in the life
It does bring
To the glory of it's king!
