Away with you wild winter,
We are welcoming the Spring.
Snowdrops, crocuses gleam the garden,
Sweet birds are on the wing.
Warmth of the sun’s bright beams
Swelling Life’s new growth,
Slanting rain spears softly falling
Fill flower buds, leaf buds both.
Winter-thin hedgehogs venture
Forth for fattening food,
Snouting about the burgeoning garden,
Searching in rotten wood
For insects fat and juicy
To strengthen their frail, thin blood,
To help them find their prickly mates
And bring forth plump, fresh broods.
Sing joy for advancing Springtime,
Farewell to Winter’s woe.
Hail to the whole of Creation’s wonder
And the seasons rotational flow.
