Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC ADADAEAE FGHGIIII AJAJKLML| Now in the oak the sap of life is welling | A |
| Tho' to the bough the rusty leafage clings | B |
| Now on the elm the misty buds are swelling | A |
| See how the pine wood grows alive with wings | B |
| Blue jays fluttering yodeling and crying | A |
| Meadow larks sailing low above the faded grass | C |
| Red birds whistling clear silent robins flying | A |
| Who has waked the birds up What has come to pass | C |
| - | |
| Last year's cotton plants desolately bowing | A |
| Tremble in the March wind ragged and forlorn | D |
| Red are the hill sides of the early ploughing | A |
| Gray are the lowlands waiting for the corn | D |
| Earth seems asleep still but she's only feigning | A |
| Deep in her bosom thrills a sweet unrest | E |
| Look where the jasmine lavishly is raining | A |
| Jove's golden shower into Danae's breast | E |
| - | |
| Now on the plum the snowy bloom is sifted | F |
| Now on the peach the glory of the rose | G |
| Over the hills a tender haze is drifted | H |
| Full to the brim the yellow river flows | G |
| Dark cypress boughs with vivid jewels glisten | I |
| Greener than emeralds shining in the sun | I |
| Who has wrought the magic Listen sweetheart listen | I |
| The mocking bird is singing Spring has begun | I |
| - | |
| Hark in his song no tremor of misgiving | A |
| All of his heart he pours into his lay | J |
| Love love love and pure delight of living | A |
| Winter is forgotten here's a happy day | J |
| Fair in your face I read the flowery presage | K |
| Snowy on your brow and rosy on your mouth | L |
| Sweet in your voice I hear the season's message | M |
| Love love love and Spring in the South | L |
