Down has come the spring my pals! br Let’s commence our joyful dance br All in unison sweet you sing br Pure lush green in every thing br br Full of blooms the basements are br Yellow red violet the roses are br How wonderful looks this garden br Set by the gorgeous spring maiden! br br Has set in the season fruit bearing br Big black beetles drunken singing br Butterflies they heartily invite, br There is elixir for all to share br br Let us celebrate sing and dance br The spring is on from all four flanks! br br PS: br This poem is an exact translation of the Hindi poem ‘Aya Basant’ by Deepti Agarwal, posted on her page on 10th April 2008.
