O HEART of SpringA
Spirit of light and love and joyous dayB
So soon to faint beneath the fiery SummerC
Still smiles the Earth eager for thee alwayD
Welcome art thou soever short thy stayB
Thou bold thou blithe newcomerC
Whither O whither this thy journeyingA
O heart of SpringA
-
O heart of SpringA
After the stormy days of Winter s reignE
When the keen winds their last lament are sighingA
The Sun shall raise thee up to life againF
In thy dim death thou shalt not suffer painE
Surely thou dost not fear this quiet dyingA
Whither O whither this thy journeyingA
O heart of SpringA
-
O heart of SpringA
Youth s emblem ancient and unchanging lightG
Uncomprehended unconsumed still burningA
Oh that we could as thou rise from the nightG
To find a world of blossoms lilac whiteG
And long winged swallows unafraid returningA
Whither O whither this thy journeyingA
O heart of SpringA
