HERE'S the Spring-time, Sweet! br Earth's green gown is new, br Lambs begin to bleat, br Doves begin to coo, br Birds begin to woo br In the wood and lane; br Sweet, the tale is true br Spring is here again! br br br I have been discreet br All the winter through; br Now, before your feet, br Blossoms let me strew. br Flowers, as yet, are few; br Will my lady deign br Take this flower or two? br Spring is here again br br br Make the year complete, br Give the Spring her due! br All the flowers entreat, br All the song-birds sue.
