Original text and translations

English text

Oh! the Spring! the beautiful Spring!
It brighteneth, gladdeneth ev’rything.
It melteth the river’s icy chain,
It decketh with green the fields again;
It beckoneth back the summer flowers,
It filleth with song the summer bowers.
The merry children, in and out,
With many a jocund laugh and shout;
Braving the sunlit silver rain,
Explore the budding lanes again;
Their summer games again renew,
Beneath the fickle sky so blue.

Our English Months (1862)
