The Winds of Delight

Oh, the light brown earth and the green new grass,
And the sparrow that swings on the bough,
And the cherry tree drifting with billowy bloom -
These are my heartsease now.

Long were the nights in the winter's bleak cold,
And biting the blasts from the hills -
But the breeze of the spring sweeps through flower dales
Where a snowfall of fragrance spills.

Dark was the winter, but fresh with the spring
Blow the winds of delight in the heart,
And enchantment today brings us hope for the next -
Peace, and a bright new part.
