For all the splendours of winter br Which accost the eye br With sparklings of white flaky br Frost-fairies lighting the sky, br I still wish you Spring. br br For then earth bursts with passion. br Births abundantly br In multitudes. As life-force br Spills, feasting to redundance, br Yes - I wish you Spring. br br Fragranced delight inspires love. br Blood heats, as soil, when br Faced with pulsating urges br To blossom, so once again br I will wish you - - Spring.
