May Far Away

On hedgerows and in leafy woods nesting birds sing all day And the hawthorns look resplendent in their white blooms of May And the bog cotton in the bog looking fluffy and gray Is stirring in the wind in a Land far away. No matter where you live or on which Hemisphere The Spring is a beautiful time of the year The Goddess of Spring spreads her greenery around Where-ever she is beauty is to be found. Far north of this Country in the Northern Spring The dark brown white breasted dippers in the waterways sing Their familiar notes one could hardly get wrong They sing where the rapids are babbling along. In their nests the nestling birds crying for food The parent birds kept busy feeding their young brood 'Tis Spring in the Northlands from here far away Where the skylark flies upwards for to welcome the day.
