Spring Season Lyrics

Snow is melting Hail's stopped pelting The pilgrim's kirtle is dry The river's thawed Now boats are moored Do you know the reason why? (Chorus:) This is spring season And the time for courting's come around This is spring season Hark and hear spring season's sound The feast of Michael A year's full cycle Are dead and gone long ago Lambs are playing Sherwood's arraying Her leafy splendour for to show (Chorus) A springtide love is hard to bear When that love she will not share Dark nights are dwindling Fires need less kindling Woodwrens abound our trysting place The minstrel's song Of winter long Now takes on an April face (Chorus)
