All Through The Barren Winter

All through the barren winter I have waited for this day, To see the signs of springtime With its colours on display, For all the purple crocuses And snowdrops now in bloom, Have brought a joy into my heart And lifted winter's gloom. To see the golden daffodils Now bursting into flower, And blossoms catch the morning breeze Upon the cherry bower, The meadows filled with daisies And the hawthorn draped in white, As through the skies the swallows soar So beautiful their sight. The days are growing longer now The air is warmer too, Now soon the threat of snow will pass And frosts will melt to dew, As bluebells spread so far and wide Across the woodland floor, I know that spring has come at last And winter is no more.
