This is a day for singing songs

Clara Schumann

This is a day for singing songs -

the quail in the grainfield trills,

the lark rejoicing jubilates

all over verdant bright green hedge,

the hunter blows his horn.

Dame Nightingale calls sweetest sounds

through leaves a whisper goes,

the echo answers in return,

it rings and sings all ev'rywhere

this is a song of spring.
