The birds are whisnerinr that snrirr ;

And all the flowers begin to show,
And help us drive away the snow.
We all love the spring,
When the birds begin to sing:
The ball games start a-humm!ns,
And the fishes start a-coming.
When we start to go and camp,
And the weather is like lamp
Just as nice and warm,
And can do no one any harm.
Give me spring.
