O the bright spring days with their gladdest lays
Sweetly come us to greet again;
Songs of praise we'll sing for the joy they bring;
Join, all nature, the glad refrain.

Chorus:
O the bright spring days, we will chant thy praise,
Gladness to ev'ry heart thou'lt bring!
Happy we will be, from the winter free,
Welcome, welcome, thou lovely spring!

2 O the glad spring days with the sun's bright rays
Driving cold winter winds away;
And the birds' sweet notes in the gladness floats,
Singing "welcome" to lovely May. [Chorus]

3 In the bright spring days, how we love to gaze
On the stream as it glides along;
Pretty flow'rs are seen on its banks of green,
As they list to the rill's sweet song. [Chorus]
