It's Spr;nr AGAIN

Old worlds awfully troubled:
Men know not where to turn
From lack and strife and discord:
Hate and anger burn!
Everybody's worrying.
Everybody fears;
Seems like things are totterins-
Rank disaster nears.

Rains the grasses bring
Leaves and buds are bursting.
J Carefree brides sing:
AS from the beginning.
Comes another spring.
