When life returns each year in Spring
the Earth with all her children sing
and praise the Sun who from above
sends forth life’s ever-warming love.
All creatures big and small begin
reviving mysteries within—
in flowers dressed the naked Earth
shows forth the beauty of new birth.
So let us join our Mother’s song
we too believe we are among
the children of her wondrous world
LOVE’s love in us shall be unfurled.
