Waking from slumber
Beneath the cold hard ground
Spring's lovely flowers will soon announce;
With fancy ruffles the color of sun
That wave in the wind
And shout "Spring has come!"

Then covering the ground
In a carpet of blue
Reflecting the color
Of the sky's lovely hue.

Clusters of hyacinth
Spires of blooms.
A drift in the garden
With a soft sweet perfume.

And just when you think
It's all come to an end.
Then the Tulips open
To share their fresh clean scent.

Oh, Spring has fancy delicate blooms.
When in a vase fills up the room.
With a cheery look that brings a smile.
Then the wait has been worth it all the while.
