                When cold winds blow across Earth's face

                And drenching rain pours with disgrace,

                  The frosted snow on hills doth make

                  The icing on your wedding cake.

                 

                   Oh bride named Spring

                    Arise, away -

                   Tomorrow is your wedding day.

                 

                Listen how the bells are ringing -

                The whole new life of Nature's singing.

                  See features in the world's new face -

                  A fresh demeanour, sweetness, grace.

                 

                   Oh bride named Spring

                   Arise, away -

                   Tomorrow is your wedding day.

                 

                The sunshine, winter's wind is chiding

                To claim new life that still is hiding,   

                  So welcome forth the wedding guests -

                  Flowers and plants, chicks in their nests.

                 

                   Oh bride named Spring

                   Do not delay

                   Come join us on your special day.
