Spring flowers
C. Lavallée
I
Softly the May time wakes the daisies
Kissing them with a kiss that warms.
Fills with a song the forest mazes
Clasps the earth in her tender arms
On the verdant mountain trembles
Softly the light of her first shy smile.
To my love that Springtime resembles
Listen belov'd a little while.
To my love that Springtime resembles
Listen my love a little while.
II
Softly it blooms with wondrous blossoms
All the colors of thy fair eyes.
Softly it sings in forest bowers
Sweet a name as one could desire
Show'rs it has to grief belonging
Sunshine that belongs to mirth.
Tender arms with infinite longing
To clasp thee as May clasps the earth.
Tender arms with infinite longing
To clasp thee as May clasps the earth.
