Springy Songs from Far

 

Now when the spring comes,

Attired with floridity, sprouts

New leaves, greenery new,

Alas! Visitors but prepare to go:

Ducks, storks, wadders,

The wagtails and the cranes,

Spent who chilly winters here,

Prepare these now to go.

Beatles, bees and insects,

Make merry meanwhile,

Sing a song of farewell,

Their small hymns and flights,

Wish the goers a happy journey,

Prepare as they for distances far,

Woodpecker, wren, sparrow,

Along with natives other

Rejoice over fruits ripening,

O gipsy birds, mind not!

Spring here if not thine,

Waits it somewhere else too,

So fly thou strong birds,

Spring somewhere calls you,

Sings a welcoming song,

If the spring flowering here

Bells departure thine,

Waits it gazelle eyed somewhere too.
