Birds and Blossoms

Representative Text

1 Summer days have come again,
Roses bloom on hill and plain;
Children chant in glad refrain,
“Hail, this festal day!”

Refrain:
Birds and blossoms ev’rywhere,
Song and fragrance fill the air,
Happy children free from care,
Sing their festal song.
Birds and blossoms ev’rywhere,
Song and fragrance fill the air,
Happy children free from care,
Sing their festal song.

2 Swiftly pass the years away,
Life is but a summer’s day;
Birds and blossoms will not stay;
So we greet them now. [Refrain]

3 Let us sing our happy song,
Scatter sunshine all along;
Help another shun the wrong,
On this festal day. [Refrain]
