SPRING.


The sun is shining,—birds are singing,—
Everything seems bright and gay;
But to me this world is dreary,
And I long to pass away.

Spring has come with all its brightness;
The birds now flit from tree to tree;
Why should my heart be so lonely?
From earth to Heaven I would flee.

With the Spring bright days are coming,
Joys lost to me forever more:
All my hopes are now in Heaven
To meet with loved ones gone before.
