THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING.
DEAR Mamma, what a glorious, lovely day!
And the first day of the Spring,
How many happy and pleasant thoughts
To our hearts and minds must bring!
And the first day of the Spring,
How many happy and pleasant thoughts
To our hearts and minds must bring!
Let us sit on that dear old rustic seat,
Glance at the beautiful landscapes round;
Nature, so charming, smiles o'er every thing,
In the sunny heavens and on the ground.

Nature, so charming, smiles o'er every thing,
In the sunny heavens and on the ground.
Look at the lark! how sweetly he sings
As he gracefully ascends in the air;
Joy to our hearts he ever brings,
To banish all trouble and care.
As he gracefully ascends in the air;
Joy to our hearts he ever brings,
To banish all trouble and care.
As I watch him soar from my sight,
Sweet notes still ring on my ear,
Soon to descend with joy and delight,
To his mate so loving and dear!
Sweet notes still ring on my ear,
Soon to descend with joy and delight,
To his mate so loving and dear!
