 --Spring--- Spring has come, at last I see. The birds are singing in the tree. The flowers are blooming every where. Look! andAnd you will see one there. Beautiful Springspring Comescomes once a year. It brings to us happiness and cheer.

II

Beautiful Springspring is here again. Is there any happiness that we can lend? The trees are getting their leaves every whereeverywhere. Look up:! And you will hear the birdies sing. Cheer up! Cheer up! forFor it is Springspring. I am very glad you are here.
