Into the garden came Princess of Spring
Danced in her mantle so green
Called on the birds that were silent to sing
Painted her colours serene
Man of snow – bent down low
Melted in rays from the sun
Nature’s declared that the soil was repaired
Circle of life had begun
Chorus:
Round, round, seasons go round
Seasons of silk and steel
Round, round, seasons go round
Water of life turns the wheel
Queen of the summer - she warms with her smile
Fragrant with scent from the seed
Radiant beauty as bounty abounds
Graciously tending to need
Leaves hang low – waters flow
Slow are the days in the sun
Building the memories of times we’ll recall
After the year’s race has been run
Chorus:
Birds born in springtime are soon on the wing
Sing out a song as they leave
Autumn’s a maid and her clothes are well frayed
Left in an orchard to grieve
Leaves set sail – winters tale
Blackberry, rosehip & sloe
Children are thrilled at what nature has willed
Building an old man of snow
Chorus
Winter comes howling the old man of snow
Gazes through eyes black as coal
His world is ice and it grips like a vice
Squeezing the roots of his soul
In the sun – tears will run
He disappears but won’t die
Moistens the earth in the cause of rebirth
He is the sea and the sky
