Poems (Vadlan)/Spring Awakening
SPRING AWAKENING
'Tis so wonderful in making,That a human breath is held;To hear the voice of watersEchoing sweetly in the dell!
'Tis so wonderful in coming,That it quickens the heart-beat:As the voices of our loved ones,And the pattering baby feet.
'Tis so wonderful in growing,That it gives us strength to do;All the hard tasks set before usWith a purpose firm and true.
'Tis so wonderful in living,That it creeps into our souls:Shedding there Hope's gleaming promiseLeading up to higher goals.
'Tis so wonderful in feeling,That it crushes half our pain;And we know the dear, kind Master,Has not called our living vain.
'Tis so wonderful, in seeingThat it lights our inner eye:And we look to brighter gloriesFar beyond the sun-lit sky.
