Waltz of Spring
Green pastures tell my friends
To come out of their small house,
Smell the fresh dew perfume sends,
Hear me conduct the waltz of Strauss
The clouds have cleared the view
For my friends to enjoy the bright spotlight
Where I lead the wind orchestra of green and blue
They play and sway to my direction with delight
The flower buds enticed by the symphony
Their whorls gradually open to hear more of it
Everyone rise to the climax of spring’s harmony
A rush of excitement, images of happiness hit
Heralds from the blue sky carry good news
They announce blessings and good wishes
The hummingbirds ready for my successive cues
The sound of the waltz augment the audience’s blisses
The end of the Spring’s waltz is also the beginning
But swiftier and swiftier, higher and higher
Rush of excitement, images of happiness fading
A long splendor whole note after.
