Spring’s Magic Wings
Listen to Linda ...
Bluebells are ringing, birds are sweet singing,
Across the swaying sea.
Sleek adders are snaking, trees are waking,
Feeling long-winter-free.
Butterflies are twirling, blossom is swirling
In the lemony light.
Streams are tinkling, anemones are twinkling
Star-dusted from the night.
Frogs are leaping, pollen veils are sweeping
In the playful breeze.
Leaves are unfurling, silk threads are whirling -
Caterpillar trapeze!
Woodpeckers are drumming, bees are humming,
Finding their zest and zing.
Cuckoos are deceiving, swallows are weaving -
Spring’s found its magic wings!
Across the swaying sea.
Sleek adders are snaking, trees are waking,
Feeling long-winter-free.
Butterflies are twirling, blossom is swirling
In the lemony light.
Streams are tinkling, anemones are twinkling
Star-dusted from the night.
Frogs are leaping, pollen veils are sweeping
In the playful breeze.
Leaves are unfurling, silk threads are whirling -
Caterpillar trapeze!
Woodpeckers are drumming, bees are humming,
Finding their zest and zing.
Cuckoos are deceiving, swallows are weaving -
Spring’s found its magic wings!
